I Been

(album: Lifetime Achievement - 2022)

I been boating and fishing and moping and wishing
Skiing on water and snow
Walking and jogging and skating and tobogganing
And missing you don't you know

I been wondering, worrying, slowing down, hurrying
Walking the floor it's true
Yodeling and a-blinking and a-smoking and a-drinking
And a-waiting for the other shoe

I been lying and cheating, nudging, brow-beating
In a jam on the lam at sea
Bullying, bashing, and a bit of talk trashing
Giving it away for free

I'm fussing and fretting, I'm underpants sweating
After all I'm just a man
Moaning and a-groaning and a-mending and atoning
And a-doing the best I can

I been telling and showing, coming and going
Tryna get the hell out of town
Scheming and redeeming and day and night dreaming
And forgetting to write it all down

I'm begging and pleading, sweating and bleeding
Just wondering what to do
Kneeling and a-praying and agreeing, naysaying
And admitting that I love you

And I'm catching and throwing, hardly even knowing
And farting whenever I sneeze
Doing my best at your behest
And at the same time as I please

'Cause I wanna tell the truth, find a fountain of youth
Die with both of my boots on
Yeah, figure out a way to live one more day
Keep going until I am gone

Yeah, figure out a way to live one more day
Keep going until I am gone
