Go Folks, Go

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 I'd 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!
