lyrics

all my friends are talking health and healing
i'm still just getting high and reeling
lookin' for a magic moment worth stealing
i'm on my way back home

all my friends got a three tier mortgage
they're doing the dishes, taking out the garbage
i still want to pay a little homage
before they call me home

chorus
you can bury my ass in the cold cold ground
between the sumach tree and my small town
i still want to get all the way down
before they call me home

we got ourselves a wee little child
i don't want to settle down, i want to make her wild
walking with a skip and seeing with a smile
we're on our way back home

people round here sure got alot
and they don't care much for those that have not
here's to the pissers without any pot
we're on our way back home

chorus
you can bury my ass in the cold cold ground
between the sumach tree and my small town
i still want to get all the way down
before they call me home
