One Whole Year |
One day I went to work, told em I had had enough |
I was born to be an artist I was meant for paint and brush |
So I sold all I owned, what I didn’t sell I burned |
And I moved in with my parents, bought supplies with what I’d earned |
And now all I got to show for these empty cans of paint |
Is a portrait of my mother, a suburban landscape |
All the people that I met, all the time that I spent |
Was a poor man’s fortune but it didn’t pay the rent |
I made it one whole year |
Think it went pretty well but I’ll tell you in a minute it was shorter than it |
felt |
The nurse called my name and I hobbled to my feet |
And the test results were good enough to let em set me free |
Now they’re tearing off my casts and I’m trying to recall |
How to walk and how to dance and how it feels when I fall |
I pleaded with the judge and I cried to the jury |
But my lawyer says it’s over and I really shouldn’t worry |
I thought I’d get off clean but they heard my past was checkered |
Don’t they know a man is more than what’s recorded on the record |
So they hauled me off in chains and they showed me to my cell |
It’s a place that never rains it’s a steel umbrella |
