Campfire

Oh my my, oh I guess That I've done my time, now I've laid to rest There's a campfire inside my soul And it billows And the sky was a thousand years old Always kept time in my back pocket No man, goddamn, came to take my soul Shut the door, then lock it And where have all of my friends gone? And where did all of my friends go? And where have all of my friends gone? They billow Thought that I saw Jessi, she was sitting in a crowd Thought that I saw Jessi, then I got to feeling proud To ever have known someone so pretty and so sweet Who every-time she sang a song, it'd sweep me off my feet But oh my my, oh I guess That she did her time, now she's laid to rest There's a campfire inside her soul Still billows Lay your head on my pillow There's a fire inside you, and that's why you billow Stay calm, stay calm, and give me your palm A song, a song for you I walked to town, devil one side of me Held by an angel, put poems inside of me Down to my mouth, said, "Won't you recite to me?" "Okay" Every first Wednesday, there goes that sound again Sun's going down and she's a sundowner Stay calm, stay calm, and give me your palm Give me your palm, and I'll sing you a song Young kids smoke cigarettes out on the avenue Sun's going down, so you might as well have a few Hey, who are you? Did you hear the news? Anthony's dead, and Poor Richard too They billow, they billow, and it makes me nervous They whittled a fiddle from wood in our service Now that it's dusk, kids scatter the avenues Hey, who are you? I'm a sundowner too
