Lyrics
Here now come a rain, here come shine, I don't mind. No.
Likewise, down inside, well I don't feel obliged.
I got a reason for believing she been easy picking on me
& these tall, tall trees, leaf by leaf, are seeming out of reach.
Backbite, oh my, a syndication that ain't no lie
Chit chat like that just put the shut right down--they heal my sight
Do-right besides oh me oh my oh no need to lie
When dull discourse does not do for what I've realized
& I'm pleased to ease these tendencies you got concerning me
For reasons plain to see and plainly out of reach
Head-strong-box of reasons, nearly every reason why
I break in a digging when I done been on the bottom side
I make my need need to be my yearn to concede
And you offer me a drink and hold it out of reach
My good friend, a friend of a friend, ain't been no friend of mine
And his poor soul I recognize an open eye up in the light
I try what I think I might more easily conceive
Like why the grass ain't growing greener right underneath my feet
When I say Tin pan Alley 'bout two feet wide
And I can't be standing on e-either side
The Tinsel Town of a man he done past me by
say he ain't gonna save my life
(I been digging on the bottom
nearly all my life)
