Leavers Lullaby

(album: Interstate Gospel - 2018)

When did I get this crazy?
When did I get so mean?
Living wild and exhausted
Paying what it cost to feel so free

Run along, little daddy, take the dog and the house and dang me
It ain't worth the time that it's gonna take to change me
It's as deep as the holler and clear as the water that stains me
I want whatever it is I ain't getting from you

I know you need me to need you
I tried to teach you to be tough, mm
There'd be no such thing as leaving
If just loving somebody was enough

Run along, little daddy, take the dog and the house and dang me
It ain't worth the time that it's gonna take to change me
It's as deep as the holler and clear as the water that stains me
I want whatever it is I ain't getting from you

La la la la la...
