Like a Mellow Man

I been sleepin’ like a mellow man
Stealin kisses from the promise land
My best friend ‘sin the county jail
For tryin to save one who’s tryin to fail

This land I love is so obtuse
I try to make plans but it’s no use
My entropy’s got a hold on me
I’m floating on a deep blue sea

Sleep all day and cry all night
Keep tellin me everything’s alright
My mind is wired, my mind is wide
From tryin’ to save onewho’s tryin to hide

If I fall, let me fall
On my knees, down on my knees
Tie my shoe, O tie my shoe
But let me fall, O let me fall

Through this life I’m bound to roam
I’m bound to ramble, the road’s my home
The road’s my home, the road’s my life
The road’s my mistress, the road’s my wife

I’ve been to churches, I’ve been to schools
Been to court houses, I broke some rules
I broke some rules and I got caught
They say I’m guilty, but who is not?

Been sleepin like a mellow man
Stealin’ kisses from the promise land
My best friend’s in the county jail
From tryin to save one who’stryin to fail
