From the recording Dig
Lyrics
Smack dab and I’m right down in it
Wondering if I’ll ever get it
Today I think I’ll just ride along
But I’m not gonna lose no sleep
‘Cuz time is tight and talk is cheap
And I don’t wanna listen to nothing but my favorite songs
Have you ever met your sister?
Once upon a time I kissed her
But you’re still strumming and swinging along
But I know you’re not asleep
From restless nights of counting sheep
And I’ll tell you everybody loves you more than you could know
But don’t go because the night’s still young
Don’t go until you’re dead and gone
Listen to you every evening
I’m hanging on your every meaning
But some things stay and the rest moves on
There’s so much I wanna keep
I’m digging and it’s getting deep
And now I’m just another guy with a hole in the ground
But don’t go because the night’s still young
Don’t go until you’re dead and gone
Didn’t you listen to your mother?
You should have been more like your brother
‘Cuz now he’s driving while you’re standing around
You’d better stay off the streets,
You never know what you might meet
And I’ll tell nothing’s happening around here as far as I’ve found
But don’t go because the night’s still young
Don’t go until you’re dead and gone
But don’t go because the night’s still young
Don’t go until you’re dead and gone
