I'm not leaving, I ain't going...
you never asked me to!
So I'll sit and smile here with you,
like I never thought Id do.
Wash the walls and paint the windows,
polish face and shave the shoe.
I got gal and I got friends,
like I never thought I'd do.
I never thought the sun would rise
in the east and set in west;
I figured I owned just dark skies
and that darkness ft me best.
Here I is, all thin and balled-up,
wrapped up in a coat of you.
I ain't hemmed-in, I ain't walled-up;
I am free and I'm loving you.
I can snooze and I can amble.
I can jump when you say "boo."
Freedom is a hard-won gamble;
so is holding things like you.
My chest swells and my nose snores;
it's all okay by you.
I've never felt this welcome before...
I'd a never thunk, would you?
Serves one right. No need to think.
It will all be laid before us,
and god will guide us to our graves,
smiling, singing:
Go folks! Go forth! Go folks! Trust your brain! Trust your body!
