Let me die out in the boons It took me thirteen years to bloom They broke up, but he's alright We'll be in town till late tonight I'm dyin' in the boons And I hate a hungry crowd Worst of 'em all, talk the loudest I guess I'll die out here With a hammer and a beer Just dyin' in the boons So leave me out of that talk downtown I have found everything I'll ever need Real deep In the boons I met a girl deep in the city She said she don't mind sittin' with me I let my troubles float away I had myself a simple day Just dyin' in the boons And how I miss the quick-stop line They say hello every time No concern for politics Come on home, I'll check for ticks Love me gently in the boons And why does everyone I know Have somewhere else to go? Won't you look up from your hands? Let's be still while we still can Stay a while, out in the boons So leave me out of that talk downtown I have found everything I'll ever need Real deep In the boons Let me die out in the boons It took me thirteen years to bloom I'm beat up but I'm alright I'll be in town till late tonight Just dyin' in the boons
