Asked the in the tree, "What is it that you humming for?" Now knowing (Why the Caged Sings) is wishing to be free myself of life and it's hold on me Touring, the children, women, sexual means so much to me, the church don't see enough of me This way, that way, bending corners to get away Sometimes you have to see a storm to a pretty day in the car now, headed for the liquor store God, what a scene, digging what I just seen Rolled up another one, in a daze though up at the Mini-Mart, my mind on the country roads
