Oh, Pappy left a chair like he's still sittin' there |
|
Once I almost saw him make his move |
|
Brave Indian who never changes his mood |
|
In a painting on the wall right there |
|
Any how long, 'til the morning wakes |
|
Yes, how long now, 'til the medicine takes |
|
Oh, Sally buffalo in the apartment just below |
|
Just a bein' without a care |
|
Oh, children from my brood they come and bring me food |
|
Maybe open up a window for air |
|
Oh, just now I smell the cornbread bake |
|
Oh, now, now, I feel the medicine take |
|
Just like home |
|
Where the stray dogs go through it all |
|
To get all we're still right here, still just here |
|
Brave little friend |
|
We got a party goin' on many spirits strong |
|
Ain't no preacher just a happy to meet ya |
|
Half a bottle 'neath the bed, keep our spirits fed |
|
My hat's off to you, to you and to you |
|
And now our brave friends, too, dancing circles through the room |
|
And a broom and a radio, a twistin' out a dos-e-do |
|
Brand new day and the whole world's goin' |
|
The whole room's goin' so |
|
Just now, don't hesitate |
|
(Don't hesitate) |
|
Oh, taste the sweet, sweet morning break |
|
(Morning break) |
|
Oh sweet young, young honeycomb |
|
(Honeycomb) |
|
Oh baby, whole lot of fresh skipped stone |
|
(Fresh skipped stone) |
|
Oh, just like home |
|
Where the stray dogs go |
|
Why don't you sit down, rest my bones |
|
Like a fresh skipped stone to it all |
|
Still right here, still just here |
|
Still just here, my brave little friend |
