When I became of age my mama sat me down
Said "Son, you're growin' up, it's time you looked around"
So I began to notice some things I hadn't seen before
That's what brought me here knockin' on your back door
Oh, yeah
A closet queen, the busstop's dream, she wants to shake my hand
I don't want to be there, she decides she can
It's Apple Dan, he's just the man to pick fruit off your branches
I can't sleep, and we can't keep this cattle on my ranches
Oh, yeah
It's too strong, something's wrong and I guess I lost the feelin'
I don't mind the games you play, but I don't like your dealin'
God looked bad, the luck's been had and there's nothin' left to smoke
Will I be back tomorrow for the punchline of the joke?
Tend My Garden
Would you like to come home with me?
I can think of things to show ya
Thinkin' that I'd like to know ya, uh
Mornin' milkman's comin'
Get up, greet my day
Evenin' brings the sun in
Still I find my way
Change of plans, makin' a landin' to see ya
And I do wanna be your man, oh, yeah
Sunday, highway drivin'
It all looks about the same
Nowhere, just arrivin'
Still I play the game
I'm home grown, growin' my own and I need ya
Need ya to beg my pardon, to tend my garden
Flowers, she's sittin' for poses
She wants me to sing my song
Hours, she's like a stoned Moses
Guess I'll sing along
Garden Gate
Well I'm sitting in the middle of a story
Would you like to read my line
Sipping on a morning glory
Would you like to taste my wine
Don't forget to tell the sun
I sleep through the day
See him when the morning comes
Everything's OK
The captain's in the chartroom
Navigating on a star
Can't know where we're going
'Cause he don't know where we are
Don't you think I don't know
How to tell the time
Can't you see you can't sell me
Something that is mine
You just sit to talking
And I'm sure there's nothing said
Your book is lying open
And I don't think much is read
The dog is outside barking
At something he can't see
The garden gate is closing
There I Go Again
Hey‚ ooh‚ what'll I do
Looks like it's the end
Ooh‚ hey‚ could you please stay
There I go again
You know I hate to lose her
The good thing that I had
I would rather lose her
Then watch it all go bad
I guess I'll just go on ahead
There's still some things to come
Yes‚ things are pretty much said
Back where I came from
Hey‚ ooh‚ what'll I do
Looks like it's the end
Ooh‚ hey‚ could you please stay
There I go again
It may be that I found my way
And not see her again
Tomorrow is a brighter day
Why should I pretend
I know I won't see her again
We've gone our separate ways
Making love every now and then
I don't have much to say
Hey‚ ooh‚ what'll I do
Looks like it's the end
Ooh‚ hey‚ could you please stay
There I go again
Hey‚ ooh‚ what'll I do
Looks like it's the end
Ooh‚ hey‚ could you please stay
