Daisy

I used to have a rabbit, come running up in here Wake up in the morning and scratch between his ears Brew us up some coffee, take dobro love outside He'd run away until i played his favorite kind of slide When every song's a circus, imagine how you'd hear Days turn into weeks turn into months turn into years This just ain't my journey, it's not my kind of ride Now I'm coming home alone, my rabbit gone and died Daisy in the meadow Won't you come home to me I've loved you since the day we met Beside the inland sea Never sent you a letter Never sent a box I only sent you love songs The only song I've got I used to have a mortgage, went shopping all the time Then they turned the lights out, choked on my last dime Couldn't afford no coffee, couldn't afford my ride, Got busted by the repo man each time I went outside Couldn't pay my tickets, couldn't make my bail Tax man come, run rabbit, run, no passing go, no sale When luck just ain't your measure, you take it up in trade I'm all runout like Romeo on Juliet's poison blade Daisy in the meadow Won't you come home to me I've loved you since the day we met Beside the inland sea Never sent you a letter Never sent a box I only sent you love songs The only song I've got Wish I had my rabbit, wish I had my girl I'd play for her and sing my song for satin, lace, and curls But all I've got's this dobro, some mojo and some wine Waiting for the day I get to finally call her mine I'm thinking that she loves me, but wish I had a job Maybe do some laundry, quit living like a slob Don't think I need botox, wrinkles are just fine Not so good with rabbits is where she draws the line Daisy in the meadow Won't you come home to me I've loved you since the day we met Beside the inland sea Never sent you a letter Never sent a box I only sent you love songs The only song I've got
