"I Been" lyrics
"I Been"
I been boatin' and fishin' and mopin' and wishin'
Skiin' on water and snow
Walkin' and joggin' and skatin' and tobogganin'
And missin' you don't you know
I been wonderin', worryin', slowin' down, hurryin'
Walkin' the floor it's true
Yodelin' and a-blinkin' and a-smokin' and a-drinkin'
And a-waitin' for the other shoe
I been lyin' and cheatin', nudgin', brow-beatin'
In a jam on the lam at sea
Bullyin', bashin', and a bit of talk trashin'
Givin' it away for free
I'm fussin' and frettin', I'm underpants sweatin'
After all I'm just a man
Moanin' and a-groanin' and a-mendin' and atonin'
And a-doin' the best I can
I been tellin' and showin', comin' and goin'
Tryna get the hell out of town
Schemin' and redeemin' and day and night dreamin'
And forgettin' to write it all down
I'm beggin' and pleadin', sweatin' and bleedin'
Just wonderin' what to do
Kneelin' and a-prayin' and agreein', naysayin'
And admittin' that I love you
And I'm catchin' and throwin', hardly even knowin'
And fartin' whenever I sneeze
Doin' my best at your behest
And at the same time as I please
'Cause I wanna tell the truth, find a fountain of youth
Die with both of my boots on
Yeah, figure out a way to live one more day
Keep goin' until I am gone
Yeah, figure out a way to live one more day
Keep goin' until I am gone

When the church bells toll
The choir's gonna sing
And the hearse will roll
On down to the graveyard
Where it's cold and gray
And then the sun's gonna shine
Through the shadows...
