Take a load off, honey
Don't you know who I am?
We're having a real good time
Take a load off, honey
I think we've met before
Seems like you're not yourself these days
Won't you put down your worn-out bags and stay?
I'm opening in ten
I've got some good time friends
Coming by for some wine
This room has been here
For a hundred years
So feel free to open up and say
Whatever might help you on your way
Time has been going
In good and bad ways
And time has been going
Some weeks feel like a few days
I was driving
Through the pine woods
On those Mississippi roads
When lightning was there
I was told "don't worry, but hurry home"
'Cause there's someone in the kitchen
Looking after these blues
And there's someone in the kitchen
Making some damn good food
It's not a pretty day
And Bobby Charles is dead
But Missy's playing him on the radio
And an old friend is playing the piano
I didn't even know he could
I've been traveling by word of mouth
Is this some folktale I've been told about?
I've been traveling by word
A bit confused where I am
Startled by the energy of a Ginsberg line
Or Monk standing to the side as his band played on
Oh, I must still be in the canyon
Where I believe Mitchell is still alive
Met a man who showed me the beauty of night
As I was falling asleep by his side
Met a man who showed me the beauty of night
Like a magician
So here I am
With time opened up
Feels like a Peyote trip gone a little wrong
I know I've looking for time to open up
But now, I'm a little overwhelmed
Honey, I'm on your side
As we're walking that line
And honey, I don't even mind
If you yell out like a child
We're having a good time
And as the day draws to an end
Before the sun comes up tomorrow
Some things just begin
