There are those days Where I would rather be Anywhere else, or Doing anything else, or Talking to anyone else. I'd rather ride the ancient yellow Schwinn in the shed To the cemetery Pay my respects to Baby Lanny And think.
I'd rather drive to Chicago Stay by the Pier for a while, Drinking warm cocoa eating a hot dog.
I'd rather stay in my room, curled up under a blanket Reading and staring out the window.
That's not how life works, unfortunately. So I have to take my responsibilities And wield them with a heavy heart Waiting until a time Where I can drive to Chicago.
