I Don't Mind by The Tobasco Donkeys
Well I am looking I am searching I have found Near the ground My soul, myself Beneath this trail
There's no other place I'd rather be Can't you see me out here walking, in the rain and hail The purpose of life it seems to me Is not to take yourself too seriously
I wouldn't wanna be an old man Sitting in an office building someplace far away Worry on my face
Well you can take my car, my stereo, my little money Leave me with nothing but my trail family Take my dress-up clothes, my cheap cologne, my college loans I don't mind, I don't mind
Well if that taxman comes lookin' I'm ten thousand feet cooking up some oatmeal Or some rice and beans
I worship the spirit that doesn't just look down He looks up and through and all around Find Him in the rocks and trees
Cause there's no reason to pray When you wake up everyday To the sunrise over Cito Peak
So find some ground, lace up your boots Start walking and you will find reason Enough reason to believe
Well you can drop your worries at the parking lot Away down in the city where the sun burns hot Although civilization is a nice place to visit I wouldn't wanna live there
Just one final paragraph of advice Don't burn yourselves out, be as I am It's not enough to fight for the land It's even more important to enjoy it while you can While it's still here
So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around Ramble out yonder, explore the woods, encounter the grizz Climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breath deep That yet sweet, lucid air
Sit quiet for awhile, contemplate the precious stillness That mystery and awesome space Enjoy yourself, keep your brain in your head And your head attached to your body Your body active and alive
And I promise you this much I promise you this one sweet victory Over our enemies Over those deskbound people with their hearts in a box And their eyes hypnotized by calculators
I promise you this one sweet victory... YOU"LL OUTLIVE THE BASTARDS! |
