Boons

Let me die out in the boons

It took me thirteen years to bloom

They broke up, but he’s alright

We’ll be in town ’til late tonight

I’m dyin’ in the boons

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

So leave me out of that talk downtown

I have found everything I’ll ever need

Real deep

In the boons

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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

[Chorus]

So leave me out of that talk downtown

I have found everything I’ll ever need

Real deep

In the boons

[Outro]

Let me die out in the boons

It took me thirteen years to bloom

I’m beat up, but I’m alright

I’ll be in town ’til late tonight

Just dyin’ in the boons
