lyrics

All about Sunday's sundown
there hung in the air a heavy weight
hard to explain.
Like a new job, early roll call
button-down high-and-tight code...
enough to burn a hole in your soul.
Honey, I'm a boy of the woods, don't you know--
if you don't want me then let me go.
It's nothing that I chose, but it's me I suppose-
take me away tonight.
Mellow, straight and narrow
never held much appeal...
in fact I find it harder to feel.
Chapter and verse--
a promise on the heels of a curse.
A few drops of oil in your lamp...
just enough to light up the cracks on your hands.
Honey I'm a boy of the saltwater shore--
half the time gettin' high and goin' low.
It's nothing that I chose, but it's me I suppose-
take me away tonight.
Lion, sideshow ridin'
well-- you jumped the hoop and missed the fire--
now here's a place to retire.
Bare floor, worn out four walls.
The concrete is aging (thankfully too)
a blade of grass looks like good news.
Honey I'm a boy of the pourin' rain--
if I ain't soaked then I lose my name.
It's nothing that I chose, but it's me I suppose-
take me away tonight.
It's nothing that I chose, but it's me I suppose-
take me away tonight.
