Current Events
She's stepping out with my good friend
I hope he has better luck
Thought there was something..going on.
Strange how change is seldom realized.
I am Jack's total lack of surprise.
Sat and watched the evening news and listened to
His address.
When telling what he'd do 'bout New Orleans, he swelled his chest
He said, « The damage will subside around a year.
Andy ours truly will be there drinking beer. »
That's when I had a tall swig of bourbon.
And that 'bout did me in and blew it all away.
Did you hear about the tribe who lived ?
It's said they sought higher ground.
Gathered up some twigs for houses and then they were northern bound.
When asked how they knew when to disappear,
they said, « We've known to watch the tide for many years. »
And that provoked some thinking
Of a lot of things
Until I went to bed and dreamt it all away.
People, let me tell you 'bout my good friend. I punched him in the gut.
Guess he never knewhow crazy I really was.
Between fighting and taking in the view,
I'm waking up and I'm filling up my shoes.
And that's the news.
