Lyrics[]
[Snippet 1]:
Joan said something, "don't pee in the wind"
Just as she and Bobby did
We're going home again 'cause everyone around here is crazy
Everyone's a big [?] - ah-hey-yea
- around the way
Sometimes just a little movement is all it takes
But you're gon' wish you wouldn't leave me
I wish you didn't need a break, but okay
Sometimes you just know when it's your time to go
When you can't live any longer and you can't do anymore
And sometimes you're afraid about your [?] anyway
Come promise her a new song and a prayer today
While the velvet times are changing
There was something calling in the wind
And Joan just kept on, [?]
"[?] be friends again"
Even though she had a feeling around, deep inside she somehow knew
The dog would never come back wailing, no
That was not the kinda thing he'd do
[Snippet 2]:
Joan's about telling me something uplifting
I'm so confused
Everyone around here in town is leaving
Now even you, now even you
Last night, I said it to her, I said, "please help me die"
Wrong hole I got born in, I know she never had what I want
She only want what's good for me, she might know by now
He just smiled from the stormy skies
Said, "you'll figure it out, you'll figure it out"
And I think that I know that it's my time to go
I can't wait any longer and I can't do any more
Whether I'm afraid, but you know I'm gonna leave anyway
