Let The Fools Carry On

you may not believe it
you may not want to know
it's not ours to understand
if they wander leave them be
if they holler...give them peace

just let the fools carry on
the way they wanna do
let the fools carry on
the way they are
let the fools carry on
do what they gonna do
till it's over and done
let the fools carry on

you may not condone it
you may not think it's right
this is not a world that we know
if they rumble let them be
if they're looking...let them see

just let the fools carry on
the way they wanna do
let the fools carry on
the way they are
let the fools carry on
do what they gonna do
till it's over and done
let the fools carry on

When I Left Indiana

i was just a kid
but i didn't know it
i was just another
fool out on the make
i thought i knew it all
then i took my graceless fall
left me pickin' up the pieces
headed for the gates

it's been a long time
since i left indiana
been a long time gone
ain't never goin' back
nearly lost my mind
then i left indiana
hard to think about it now
it seems so far away

lived out on the ocean
of a thousand whiskey bottles
the coast of indiana
where the bottles break
i thought i had it covered
later i discovered
a million heartaches later
i was just a waste

it's been a long time
since i left indiana
been a long time gone
ain't never goin' back
nearly lost my mind
then i left indiana
hard to think about it now
it seems so far away

could it be so many years
that live on unforgotten
could it be i'm crazy
for thinking of them now

it's been a long time
since i left indiana
been a long time gone
ain't never goin' back
nearly lost my mind
then i left indiana
hard to think about it now
it seems so far away

Empty Is My World (Without You)

This is an original song lyric performed as a recitation...I'm having a lil trouble getting the music done.

Btw...For those who may be curious...This was written as a take on what a friendly message from an extra-terrestrial intelligence might be if decoded...And human reflection on what such an experience might be like...The friendly and rather lonely alien message...Empty is my world...without you...
