lyrics
Ramblin’ the same dark woods again
Followed a stray thought and wandered in
Felt like an alien in my own skin
Patterns and textures right down to the end
Just like I know, just like I been told
Autumn leaves of gold, trouble I’m in
Recipe for some slow demise
Not like I planned but hardly surprised
Pieces of dreams that float out on the tide
Letters to you that drew no warm reply
Just like I thought, just like I been taught
Seventh waves that roll, my misfortune
Baby says no, papa don’t go
Baby says no, papa don’t go
Baby says no, no, no, no, papa don’t go
I’ll make it right and mend your wing
An eagle flies, it doesn’t sing
I always knew you had me, I was just playin’ dumb
The downtown bars are all shut down
The hour’s late, no one’s around
You always could impress me with your blouse undone
So here I go again I guess
You’ve seen the worst, so here’s my best:
We always were a pair, and you were always the one
Take a walk down Evans Quarry Road
Call ol’ Bird Dog and see if he’ll show
Grab our fishin’ poles and take life slow
By the spillway on a Sunday in the summertime
Steady hummin’ of the bugs drones on
Shade tree shadow puppet playin’ on the pond
Close my eyes and let go a lazy yawn
In the tall grass, feel the clouds pass ‘til I’m gone
Float on down past the bridge at Cookie’s Creek
Don’t them fieldhands sure look beat
Wren on a fencepost singin’ so sweet
Not a worry, no hurry, leave our troubles behind
You might not understand
But to my eyes it looks like the promised land
Like a flash at the bottom of a pan
Look at ol’ Dog, no shirt, no shoes
Wadin’ in the water like a redneck fool
Big Jim told me son you got to get loose
You just never ever know
Got no fortune, nothin’ in the will
Debt so deep, this bowl is bound to spill
All them greedy fingers in the till
While the fat cat naps, it’s tit for tat
Seems the luxury of life is in your lap
Reverie weakens, I’ll rue the day
Treasure in hand but it slipped away
Never a care for one damn thing we did
Not how it was when I was still a kid
Just like we knew, just like we been through
Such a ways to go, but look where we’ve been...
