Boons

Let me die out in the boons

It took me thirteen years to bloom

They broke up, but he's alright

We'll be in town till late tonight

I'm dyin' in the boons

And I hate a hungry crowd

Worst of 'em all, talk the loudest

I guess I'll die out here

With a hammer and a beer

Just dyin' in the boons

So leave me out of that talk downtown

I have found everything I'll ever need

Real deep

In the boons

I met a girl deep in the city

She said she don't mind sittin' with me

I let my troubles float away

I had myself a simple day

Just dyin' in the boons

And how I miss the quick-stop line

They say hello every time

No concern for politics

Come on home, I'll check for ticks

Love me gently in the boons

And why does everyone I know

Have somewhere else to go?

Won't you look up from your hands?

Let's be still while we still can

Stay a while, out in the boons

So leave me out of that talk downtown

I have found everything I'll ever need

Real deep

In the boons

Let me die out in the boons

It took me thirteen years to bloom

I'm beat up but I'm alright

I'll be in town till late tonight

Just dyin' in the boons
