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
