Book on the Shelf |
Well, I hope you have fun splashin' in the slack tide |
Unchaperoned over on the flip side |
I write what I know about, made up or true |
These songs aren’t for me, they’re for you |
Memories like meteors fly through my head |
The sand was pearl white, her bikini bright red |
Retracing song lines gives me goose pimples, still |
Like the trail boards upon Boo Boo Hill |
Ooh, I know these stories were all lived before me |
Still, I got a couple that I’ll keep to myself |
I’m so damn lucky to have an all-star cast |
Some lovely, some crazy, whoever thought this would last? |
You know if I hadn’t lived it, I’d read it myself |
Tellin' tall tales is still good for my health |
Keep movin', and listenin', and amusin' myself |
I’m not ready to put the book on the shelf |
We all live some days vicariously |
Blinded by all the light we cannot see |
Handed down stories, cave walls to pens |
Worth tellin' again and again |
I call these modalities great power tubes |
Placed in the hands of dreamers and fools |
We’re descending from court jesters, quite sure of that |
Could you kindly pass around the hat? |
And I know these stories were sailed way before me |
Toss a note in a bottle and hope that it helps |
I’m so damn lucky to have an all-star crew |
Some stoic, some crazy, some just passin' through |
I guess music and lyrics are what I do best |
I’m all done explaining or passin' some test |
So pour me another, it’s good for my health |
I’m not ready to put the book on the shelf |
I’ll keep scribblin' on pages, not jumpin' off stages |
Not ready to put the book on the shelf |
