Thinking 'bout the clothes in the dryer
I put 'em in two days before
But, that was the night I was gonna chill out
And listen to the radio on the floor
Then the phone rang and I don't think
That I know anyone from Kansas
Guess this call's not for me at all
Good idea not to answer
Your grandpa said I must be running
And you know sometimes I think I'm a bum
Just tell him I'm working on something
But I won't know what it is til I'm done
That drove me down and out to the bar
All the usuals were there
A horse, two monkeys, a salesman and a priest
Were looking at the blindman stare
That one drink turned into a dozen
'Cause their jokes had me glued to the floor
And then last call had gotten me involved
In stumbling through the door
Your grandpa said I must be running
And you know sometimes I think I'm a bum
Just tell him I'm working on something
But I won't know what it is til I'm done
All these years they've been counting me
Now I'm down to counting change
If I did things differently
Maybe time would do the same
Well a very good friend he gave me a tune
Said every day's a good day to die
I can't tell if he's right or wrong
'Cause why am I still alive
It'd be a lie to say that I never saw
A skeleton through the glass
But everyone's got different reasons
For kicking themselves in the ass
Your grandpa said I must be running
And you know sometimes I think I'm a bum
Just tell him I'm working on something
But I won't know what it is til I'm done
First time caller, longtime listener. I was playing out in the garden, dodging bees in the bergamot when I put this album on. AC off the bat, set up a really heady, twisty, turny. Loads of melody.
