lirik lagu folks back home – the show ponies
[verse 1]
in the forecast of my failure
i would hope to head back home
pack up my whole van
with everything i own
just as well trade it away
and start again from scratch
with a guitar and a notepad and the cloths upon my back
back to the middle of the country
i would return to my hometown
where everyone would ask, “what did i do with my travel ’round?”
and i’d have nothing much to show
not a house or job or wife
just a couple dozen songs to show
as antidotes to life
[chorus]
i can’t quite explain why i do the things i do
makes life worth living for me, and i hope the same for you
so go on and make your living, give it a song to get you through
with the hope that i can keep on living too
[verse 2]
are we caught in our delusions?
stuck in a winter’s dream?
is the message we’ve been seeking
to drink your ovaltine?
i refuse to return
from a gloryless traversal
tell the folks back home
that life is one great big commercial
[chorus]
i can’t quite explain why i do the things i do
makes life worth living for me, and i hope the same for you
so go on and make your living, give it a song to get you through
with the hope that i can keep on living too
[verse 3]
are these penniless pursuits
prevent the progress of my prime?
some may not call this a living
but i’m very much alive
a wise man once said, “you only live until you die”
and to cease my cause is not to see
what we can’t see otherwise
[chorus/outro]
i can’t quite explain why i do the things i do
makes life worth living for me, and i hope the same for you
so go on and make your living, give it a song to get you through
with the hope that i can keep on living too
