Should I Go Missing

Should I go missing?

Or should I stay right here and sing?

Goodnight, good fishing

I hope the road don't make you mean

Sweet thing

Should I go missing?

Tell my mother she did fine

When I cry, she listens

Help me throw away the wine

This time

Tell my lover she ain't mine no more

You can't love her and expect her to feel free

Maybe solitude will give her more

Than the loneliness she wrestled out of me

Should I go missing?

In the forest, in the fall

I cry, who's listening?

I'm a distant barking dog

That's all

Tell my lover I'm a dream she had

Somewhere, sleeping through a storm in some old car

Maybe solitude will drive us mad

But it's better than forgetting who you are

Should I go missing?

Burn my books, don't sing my songs

Goodbye, good fishing

Hope the time don't prove us wrong

So long
