Oh, I’m going to take two days off work next week to go back home to Arkansas , but then I’ll be back when you are gone.
Readjusting, what’s to come? I don’t know when I’ll be home.

I like you. You are so cute when you laugh at all my jokes.
When I came to your house for dinner with your parents it was fun.
We played board games all night long and your sister won every one.
We get along quite famously, but quite frankly your sister scares me.
Lalala
I like it when we hold hands as I’m driving you home.
You invite me in for tea.
Your house always smells like painting.
We get along quite famously, but to be honest your sister scares me.
Ahaha
When you invited me to come away with you to meet your parents in Little Rock.
She was there she asked me questions I don’t have the answers to.
Like what am I going to do about you.
What am I going to say when I grow up.
How am I going to make money to feed you.
I don’t know.
To be honest your sister scares me.

Never summer. Always winter.
Never sunny. Always cloudy.
When it rains I hide my eyes.
When it’s cold she always wore a scarf.
Never stopping to tie shoelace.
Always walking at the same pace.
Now her footsteps rings like a telephone in a dreaming ever waking.
Now and then, near or far.
Same breeze blowing, hush hush going.
What is this? A faint growing. Could this be a new idea?
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala la la la.

Take me to the movies, for I don’t drive.
Take me to the art shop, for I don’t drive.
And I wouldn’t mind a little ride.
Take me to the drug store, for I don’t drive.
You can take me anywhere, for I don’t drive.
And I wouldn’t mind a moonlight ride.
You can wear pants and you can wear sweaters, but you can’t walk in this cold weather.
Take me to the bookstore, for I don’t drive.
Take me to the corner store, for I don’t drive.
And I wouldn’t mind a moonlight ride.

It’s a nice day for a picnic. It’s a nice day for a picnic. It’s a nice day for a picnic. Won’t you join me dear?
They said you were homesick for another place to live.
You said it was the state of mind that you were in, and you just needed to be challenged.
So we packed a basket full of food, and went down to the park.
(We) waved hello to all the families there, and their dogs.
It’s a nice day for a picnic. It’s a nice day for a picnic. It’s a nice day for a picnic. It’s so nice, won’t you join me dear?
You have so much potential.
I can see straight through your straight face.
Don’t get discouraged cause you’re on the winning team.
Yeah, you’re on the winning team.
