I got my big feet in the window, and my head down on the ground

Let me down, and close that box car door
Yes, let me down, and close that box car door
Well, I'm goin' back to Chattanooga, 
and sleep on sister Irene's floor

OK
I'm goin' down
Down down down down down
I'm going down
Down down down down down
I've got my big feet on the ground
Oh

I'm goin' down
Down down down down down
I'm goin' down
Going back underground
Oh let me down without a sound
Ooh Oh Oh

I'm going down down down down
I'm going down down down down again
You gonna miss me when I'm gone
Believe me when all your tears are gone

Solo

Yes, I'm going down, I'm going down down, down, down
I'm going down,  I'm goin' down down down down down
Yes, I got my feet in the window, I got my head on the ground

LYRICS
Please
Wrap your arms around me
And, give me a lil’ squeeze
So I realize upon release
The loves around to see

Seize
Every moment
As if they’re all keys
To open the doors of happiness
Full of love and nothing less

Chorus
The more I get to know
The better the show
Such a delight
May it last all night

Lookie there
Smells in the air
Wafting through the breeze
And, I realize if I open my eyes
The loves around to see

Our bodies are love’s home
I feel it deep inside
Pounding of the heart
Start
Feeling it in the bone

Chorus

Repeat 1

The more I get to know
The better the show
Such a delight
May it last all night
Such a delight
To gain insight

LYRICS
Could it be that all my life
I’ve been waiting for you?
What was I thinking… a wife?
If I only knew I had you to purse

But, I digress….

The pursuit of happiness
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

Enough suspense….

It’s my declaration of independence
The wondrous pursuit of happiness

Unalienable right, right?

What’s the story
Sounds contradictory…
To fight for peace
But, I gotta have a piece

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

I was scared
Unaware… unaware you were there
What a surprise to realize
The view is you

Startle
End-all
Guardian through and through

Sometimes I forget
Which way to spell it
God, dog… Dog, god?
Finding the meaning odd

Blow your troubles away

Secure to the floor with latches

LYRICS
If the words don’t come right to me
Guess I’ll just have to see
What’ll be

Children of the sun
Coming out to have some fun

When children start dancing merrily
Guess I’m considered
Lucky

Children of the sun
Coming out to have some fun

Last thing I remember, I was writing a song
Then you came along… the smile on your face lit up the place
Now I forget what is going on
Ohhhhhh, la, la, la
Ohhhhhh, yeah
Children of the sun
Coming out to have some fun

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was written while sitting on the corner of High and Market Streets in West Chester, PA. It was the first nice day of Spring, so I wanted to get out in the sun. I didn’t have lyrics in mind. Instead, I looked around. Here is what I found.

LYRICS
How do you fit a square peg
In a round hole
Brute force

How do you fill
The hole in a heart?
With love, of course

Time to start
Stopping the beg
Time to start
To get smart
To get whole

The divorce
Of brute force
Rejoice
In our voice

LYRICS
If a problem comes
And gets in your way
Interruption of strums
Gonna ruin your day?

If you forget it
You’re gonna regret it
Solve for solution
It’s the souls evolution

You’ll find a way to obey
The laws of modern physics

Travel through most any medium
With modern music
Permeate the thins and the thicks
With modern music
