Floater (Too Much To Ask)

The Complete Album Collection Vol.1专辑

  • Down over the window
    From the dazzling sunlit place
    Through the back alleys, through the blinds
    Another one of the Memphis days
    Honey bees are buzzing
    Leaves begin to stir
    I'm in love with my second cousin
    I tell myself I could be happy forever with her
    I keep listening for footsteps
    But I ain't never hearing any
    From the boat, I fish for bullheads
    I catch a lot sometimes too many
    A summer breeze is blowin'
    A squall is setting in
    Sometimes it's just plain stupid
    To get into any kind of wind
    Well the old men 'round here sometimes they get on
    Bad terms with the younger men
    Old, young, age don't carry weight
    It doesn't matter in the end
    One of the boss' hangers-on sometimes comes to call
    At times you least expect
    Tryin' to bully you, strong arm you inspire you with fear
    It has the opposite effect
    There's a new grove of trees on the outskirts of town
    The other one is long gone
    10 foot, 2 foot, 6 across
    Burns with the bark still on
    They say times are hard
    If you don't believe it you can follow your nose
    It don't bother me, times are hard everywhere
    We'll just have to see how it goes
    My old man, he's like some feudal Lord
    He's got more lives than a cat
    I've never seen him quarrel with my mother even once
    Things come alive or they fall flat
    You can smell the pine wood burnin'
    You can hear the school bell ring
    Got to get up near the teacher, if you can
    If you wanna learn anything
    Romeo, he said to Juliet, "You got a poor complexion
    That don't give your appearance a very youthful touch"
    Juliet said back to Romeo
    "Why don't you just shove off, if it bothers you so much"
    They got all got outta here any way they could
    Cold rain can give you the shivers
    They went down the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee
    All rest of them rebel rivers
    If you ever try to interfere with me or cross my path again
    You do so at the peril of your life
    I'm not quite as cool, or forgiving as I sound
    I've seen enough heartache and strife
    My grandfather was a duck trapper
    He could do it with just dragnets and ropes
    My grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth
    I don't know if they had any dreams or hopes
    I had 'em once, though I suppose
    To go along with all the ring dancing
    Christmas carols and all the Christmas eves
    I left all my dreams and hopes buried under tobacco leaves
    Not always easy kicking someone out
    Got to wait awhile, it can be an unpleasant task
    Sometimes somebody wants you to give something up
    And tears or not, it's too much to ask
