Been trying to think
of something to write.
Been sittin' here thinkin'
most of the night.
I would write of love
but I know nothing about it,
if I did, beleive me,
I'd stand up and shout it.
I would write of young
maidens beauteous and fair
but I don't think my mem'ry
can get me back there.
I would write of green
fields full of sweet clover.
But most of those fields
have all been paved over.
I would write of the moon
hanging bright in the sky,
but I can't see the thing
and I'm not gonna lie.
I would write of roses
their aroma so sweet,
but all I can smell
right now are my feet.
