Tim Barry Sagacity Gone
I went back to the corner store
To buy another round
I found a penny gone and picked it up
But it was faced head down
I represent all that’s wrong
And I resent the law
Cat tail below my rocking chair
I learned to spit before I could crawl
I think I need a hit of morphine
Just enough to ease my troubled mind
If I die a simple man of patience
Lord, I’ll be fine, yeah… yes, I’ll be fine
I went down to the river side
To sober up and rest my head
I got drunk there and stayed all day
Hooking bait without a catch
I never thought much on God before
And I’ll be gone before long
I asked him why he went and sent me here
To stink and reek upon all
They say another drink might kill me
But that’s god’s will, yeah, it’s my time
If I die a simple man of patience
Lord, I’ll be fine, yeah… yes, I’ll be fine
I think I need a hit of morphine
Just enough to ease my troubled mind
If I die a simple man of patience
Lord, I’ll be fine, yeah… yes, I’ll be fine
