lyrics

Well, hanging around here will get you feeling mighty funny
Thinking like a rocket ship
Looking at a fuse

She don't need to be anything
Just a flower in the sunshine
Laughing like she do

There's been days and days of rain
And I look to see the flood
Tomorrow might bring
I won't be standing there
I won't be washed away

I know it's getting late and I see I should be leaving
I'll be gone awhile
But I won't be gone too far

It's just been too many days and too many nights
Of reading all the the writing
In the bathroom at the bar

There's been days and days of rain
And I look to see the flood
Tomorrow might bring
I won't be standing there
I won't be washed away

The sun it's been shining and it sure is getting warmer
But, look at all that moss
Growing on that standing stone

Well I'd rather be rockin' and I'd much rather be rollin'
I'd rather be out singing
All the songs inside my bones

There's been days and days of rain
And I look to see the flood
Tomorrow might bring
I won't be standing there
I won't be washed away

Bobby Stevens recommends:

Buried & Hissing
by Natural Sway

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. . Bobby Stevens

Strange Attractor
by Zack Kelley and the Hollow City Band

10+ year anniversary deluxe addition. I am proud to have played guitar on this album. Zack is an insanely talented songwriter. Packs great tales into awesome melodic and sometimes odd structures. Bobby Stevens
