1966/07,Bob Dylan在住家附近摩托生意外受,休期他的The Hawks ( 後更名The Band ) 了大量的歌曲,此首《You Ain't Goin' Nowhere》即其中之一,由於歌一直未敲定 ( 之後改了版 ),一直拖到1971才正式行。
不,美The Byrds先於1968行此曲,除了因和Dylan是同家唱片公司,有先到「出版」;另在1965,因改翻唱Dylan的《Mr. Tambourine Man》,得排行榜的冠而名大噪,想再翻唱也是因「食髓知味」。但一次的成不理想,只得到第排行榜第74名。1989,The Byrds的吉他手兼主唱Roger McGuinn友Chris Hillman同Nitty Gritty Dirty又重此曲,曲成大耀,得排行榜第6名。管有Nitty Gritty Dirty的,但此良名次的是於二人。

The Byrds在荷行此曲的唱片封套
此曲的第一版歌中,有好些句子是非常即和荒的。好1967的第2版有做了些修正,除了明知道在等待明天新娘的到,其他的也有些超,像是到「安椅」上 ( are we gonna fly, Down in the easy chair ),以及不知跟「成吉思汗」又有何 ( Now Genghis Khan, he could not keep )?而此版也被出作翻唱者的版本。1971,Dylan又修改了歌,其中由於The Byrds的Roger McGuinn原「Pick up your money, pack up your tent」唱成了「Pack up your money, pick up your tent」,Dylan此表了他的嘲弄,在接的歌前加了McGuinn的名字 --- McGuinn/You ain't goin' nowhere。而McGuinn也在1989的版本同的位置上加了Dylan作回敬。
1992,Roger McGuinn(中)了Bob Dylan30年念音,左前「披合唱」吉他手George Harrison。

Bob Dylan出道,Joan Baez已是「民皇后」,除了提Dylan,人也交往一子,看Dylan不喜Baez。每次Baez翻唱Dylan的歌曲,感仍充深深的意,而未能打得到寰,真是替她感。此1968的版本,歌中的「bride」改成了「man」。

Clouds so swift, rain won't lift
Gate won't close, railing's froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain't goin' nowhere
Ooh-wee, ride me high
Tomorrow's the day my bride's gonna come
Oh-ho, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?
I don't care how many letters they sent
The morning came, the morning wen
Pack up your money, pick up your tent
You ain't goin' nowhere
Ooh-wee, ride me high
Tomorrow's the day my bride's gonna come
Oh-ho, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?
Buy me a flute and a gun that shoots
Tailgates and substitutes
Strap yourself to a tree with roots
You ain't goin' nowhere
Ooh-wee, ride me high
Tomorrow's the day my bride's gonna come
Oh-ho, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?
Now Genghis Khan, he could not keep
All his kings supplied with sleep
We'll climb that hill, no matter how steep
When we get up to it
Ooh-wee, ride me high
Tomorrow's the day my bride's gonna come
Oh-ho, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?
Ooh-wee, ride me high
Tomorrow's the day my bride's gonna come
Oh-ho, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?
