She's stepping out with my good friend

I hope he has better luck

Thought there was something..going on.

Strange how change is seldom realized.

I am Jack's total lack of surprise.

Sat and watched the evening news and listened to

His address.

When telling what he'd do 'bout New Orleans, he swelled his chest

He said, « The damage will subside around a year.
Andy ours truly will be there drinking beer. »

That's when I had a tall swig of bourbon.
And that 'bout did me in and blew it all away.

Did you hear about the tribe who lived ?

It's said they sought higher ground.

Gathered up some twigs for houses and then they were northern bound.

When asked how they knew when to disappear,
they said, « We've known to watch the tide for many years. »

And that provoked some thinking

Of a lot of things

Until I went to bed and dreamt it all away.

People, let me tell you 'bout my good friend. I punched him in the gut.

Guess he never knewhow crazy I really was.

Between fighting and taking in the view,
I'm waking up and I'm filling up my shoes.

And that's the news.
