Folk Singer

(Benson/Falkner)
Like a folk singers song,
Im moving on
And Im not the kind of man that acts very strong
When the girls are looking on
When the girls are looking on (When the girls are looking on)
If you tied my hands and put chains on my feet
I can picture myself walking down any street
Telling people that
I meet, 'Psst, looks like rain to me' (Looks like rain to me)
And every single day at eleven
Im home in bed in sleep heaven
Alone cause my girl leaves at seven
Aint got time for my bed-in
She says 'Stop pretendin Youre not John Lennon'
Will I ever get over this
Having tasted your lips with a kiss?
You can cross me off your list
Take these cuffs from off my wrist
And drop your fist
As soon as
Im well Im gonna leave my house
Become more of a man and less like a mouse
Drive my car down south to the
Mississippis mouth
In the Gulf of
Mexico Ill be soused
Every girl
I made in the shade of
Esplanade
Ive saved in a song that
I play when
Im afraid of a full-scale air raid
From the choices that
Ive made
And every single day at eleven
Im home in bed in sleep heaven
Alone cause my girl leaves at seven
Aint got time for my bed-in
She says 'Stop pretendin Youre not John Lennon'
Will I ever get over this
Having tasted your lips with a kiss ?
You would cross me off your list
Take these cuffs from offmy wrist
And drop your fist.
Drop your fist.
No matter how much you take of each song that
I make Im not fragile,
I dont break and
Im down at the lake
And I hope some day youll have it made with all that money that you make
It was fun while it lasted and then it was blasted
Right out of the water and into fantastic
Now he feels shafted and shes already past it
Shes like elastic and he just seems spastic
Every single day at eleven
Im home in bed in sleep heaven
Alone cause my girl leaves at seven
Aint got time for my bed-in
She says 'Stop pretendin Youre not John Lennon'
Will I ever get over this
Having tasted your lips with a kiss?
You can cross me off your list
Take these cuffs from off my wrist
If I ever get over this
You can cross me off your list
Take these cuffs from off my wrist
And drop your fist.
