Just staying in bed.

The Vaughn Brothers, Stevie Ray & Jimmie
'Good Texan'



What became of the childhood innocence 
When we all played together 
Tag hide-and-seek stickball kickball 
And then later but still really children fell in love 
And those first nervous kisses and fondlings 
And going out with your friends 
Your crew 
Feeling like the whole world was wide open to you 
And how on earth does that degenerate 
Into some of those same children growing up 
Into a frothing rage 
Storming the capitol building 
Screaming the language of hate 
Surely we could still be like children
Laughing together

--------

A deep dream comes to its end 
And I awaken in the darkness 
It is still deep in the night 
No one else is awake to hear my dream 
A dream in which I did a hard day’s work 
And I know that tomorrow 
It will be largely forgotten 
Not sleepy anymore 
I stay in the bed anyway
