"Rag" lyrics

"Rag"

See that rag on the side of the road
It's been laying there for years
Getting dusty and old
In the rain, in the snow
In the blistering heat I find it
Comforting to know
It's just layin' there waiting for me
A measure of time passing quietly
Its just layin' there waiting for me
I thought to pick it up
I miss your company

Hey there's Ed, 75 years old
Still got his mother-in-law livin' with him
How that works I don't know
His old airstream parked in the front yard
Put a for sale sign up
Gonna drive that baby far
It's just layin' there waiting for me
A measure of time passing quietly
It's just layin' there waiting for me
I thought to pick it up
I miss your company

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Frayed at the seams
Tired and cold
Give it a wash, gently press and fold
Bend to my knees, ask you what for
How many years till we can't do this anymore
Its just layin' there waiting for me
A measure of time passing quietly
Its just layin' there waiting for me
I thought to pick it up
I miss your company

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
