I Respectfully Decline |
| I received a letter this evening |
| How you reckon it read? |
| You’re invited to a reunion |
| A reunion of the dead |
| It’s been 25 years since we’ve seen you |
| Lord, don’t that time go fast? |
| We want you to pack your bags, leave your life |
| We want to relive the past |
| Well, I respectfully decline |
| Oh, I respectfully decline |
| For this heart of mine |
| And my peace of mind |
| I respectfully decline |
| And a few of us got famous |
| A few more have sadly passed |
| Sister married now to the rich man |
| And Brother James he’s pumping gas |
| Ivory Lee he plays harmonica |
| He got a blues band every Friday night |
| And Spec’s he’s still picking bluegrass |
| And he will till he gets it right |
| And I respectfully decline |
| Oh, I respectfully decline |
| For this heart of mine |
| And my peace of mind |
| I respectfully decline |
| And I respectfully decline |
| Oh, I respectfully decline |
| For this heart of mine |
| And my peace of mind |
| I respectfully decline |
| And you, you had a crush on me |
| The rebel boy who stood apart |
| After all these years you ask me the same question |
| Have I ever shared my heart? |
| I say, «thank you for your invitation |
| I sometimes think on the time we shared |
| But like a long flowing river |
| I’m 25 years from there» |
| So I respectfully decline |
| Oh, I respectfully decline |
| For this heart of mine |
| And my peace of mind |
| I respectfully decline |
| For this heart of mine |
| And my peace of mind |
| I respectfully decline |
