“Most Likely You Go Your Way and I’ll Go Mine” is the first track of the second disc of the 1966 album Blonde on Blonde, the seventh album from singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. Dylan released the song as a single twice during his career, once in 1974, charting at #66 in the US, and again in 2007, charting at #51 in the UK.
“Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I’ll Go Mine)” is the first track of the second disc of Blonde on Blonde, and for this review I’m listening to the original vinyl recording. If you’ve got a digital re-issue you might hear stuff I can’t hear.
This is the song – perhaps the only song – that was issued twice as a Dylan single, once in 1974 and once in 2007 as part of the promotion of the “Dylan” compilation.
Wiki says that “Prevalent on the recording are trombone, piano, guitar, harmonica, bass guitar, drums and electronic organ.” I’m blowed if I can hear a trombone playing the vinyl with quality modern amp and speakers. (“Blowed” – “trombone” – yes, ok, but I still can’t hear it.)
LYRICS
You say you love me
And you’re thinkin’ of me
But you know you could be wrong
You say you told me
That you wanna hold me
But you know you’re not that strong
I just can’t do what I done before
I just can’t beg you anymore
I’m gonna let you pass
And I’ll go last
Then time will tell just who fell
And who’s been left behind
When you go your way and I go mine
You say you disturb me
And you don’t deserve me
But you know sometimes you lie
You say you’re shakin’
And you’re always achin’
But you know how hard you try
Sometimes it gets so hard to care
It can’t be this way ev’rywhere
And I’m gonna let you pass
Yes, and I’ll go last
Then time will tell just who fell
And who’s been left behind
When you go your way and I go mine
The judge, he holds a grudge
He’s gonna call on you
But he’s badly built
And he walks on stilts
Watch out he don’t fall on you
You say you’re sorry
For tellin’ stories
That you know I believe are true
You say ya got some
Other kinda lover
And yes, I believe you do
You say my kisses are not like his
But this time I’m not gonna tell you why that is
I’m just gonna let you pass
Yes, and I’ll go last
Then time will tell who fell
And who’s been left behind
When you go your way and I go mine
