Boons

Let me die out in the boons
It took me 13 years to bloom
They broke up, but he's alright
We'll be in town 'til 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 13 years to bloom
I'm beat up, but I'm alright
I'll be in town 'til late tonight
Just dyin' in the boons
