Luke The Drifter

Came home after the moon trip

Didn’t have a lot to say

Guess my mind was shot pretty good since seein the Milky Way

And my gal was kinda wonderin which way it was gonna go

And so was I by the way

And I was not ready to enlist another soul in my research

That guy’s got no taste, the guy in the corner, he’s John Birch

And I heard that you bin callin, and I ain’t pickin up the phone

You came to me in a dream one time and said leave me alone

Oh life ain’t tragic mostly

Life is magic somely

And I found myself writin long poetic lines with awesome rhymes

And maybe you’re thinkin Dylan, but to me it’s just that shit

Alexander Pope was runnin, and hey

Don’t blame me for a crooked nose

That my vocal passage blows a certain way

I am God’s only son

No mistakin this time around

And how much is it worth

To finally get some sleep

Without heroin or Valerian, or Tylenol PM

And I figured I might just put my Mexican money where my mouth is

Go two hands on the forehand and backhand

Like Monica Seles, Pancho Segura, Marion Bartoli

To name some

Oh life ain’t magic mostly

Life is tragic somely

Maybe we’re one too many cats

Maybe one of us should be a dog

Maybe I just wanna wake up under a hollow log

Maybe I’m Luke the Drifter

And my nature is to drift

Maybe I got one masterpiece in me, like Johnny Swift

Yeah but if I never get there

I’ll be all right with that

Tomorrow sundown could be nothin left of me but my hat

Hello Johnny

Hello Johnny

Johnny let me be the first to welcome you in here

Not sure if there’s a bar, but I bet it’s easy to smuggle in beer

Someone’s makin shortbread

Nothing ever smelled so good

Johnny boy I think you’re gonna like this neighborhood

I do not want to live my life from regret

Either way, stay or go, go or stay

Just do one or the other

With one of your eyes I fell in love, the other eye’s my friend

Guess that’s just how we’ll let this particular story end

I played catch with some kid today on the other side of the fence

Ain’t seen his face don’t know his name, the best part was the silence

Oh life ain’t tragic mostly

Life is magic somely

Life is life Ali
