lyrics

You got my name but I ain't got yours
Is there a purpose to walking out of my door
I'm stuck on top the levee with my clothes and all my things
If you want to help me just help me sing
We're singin like this
La la la la la la la la la la la la lalala
I'm singin la la la la la lala la la la la la lala

If I could I'd be a mattress and lay horizontal all day
Got nothin to do or think or be or feel or say, whoa yeah
I just wanna have some time to myself if that's all right
So if you want me I'll be here all morning, afternoon and night, right here and singin
La la la la la la la la la la la la
Yeah I'm singin la la la la la lala la la la la la lala

I talk to folks up and down the sidewalk, they don't ever listen what I got to say
The same for you and all the state legislature, y'all don't listen anyway
You never know until it's past too late which way the world is gonna bend
Singin hymns of days long past to the wall and the ocean my friend
I'm happy singin
La la la la la la la la la la la la
Get up I'm singin la la la la la lala la la la la la lala

Even in my own daydreams I never get so very far
I had one the other day I got run over by a rich man's car
All the EMTs came to get me but I didn't have no insurance
I tried to get up and find the first doctor I could but I did not have any endurance
So then I grabbed my wallet and tossed out some change and a card that had my name
I said "You can be ensured that this is what they call me"
They said "That's not what everybody claim"
Then I looked him in the eye as my final breath escaped through the hole in my chest
With final words screamin "He who dies richest dies best"
And I was sittin singin
Singin singin singin singin singin a-singin singin sing it with me
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
Put up I'm singin la la la la la lala la la la la la la la
Yeah come on I'm singin la la la la la la la la la la la la
I'm forever singin la la la la la la
