Opossum

Don't you ask me
 when you don't want to know
 how it's been on the darker end
 of the debts I've come to owe.
 Don't you remember
 swimming in the old red creek?
 Me and you at twenty two
 and you kiss me on the cheek.
 You said all things are passing
 but maybe not die today.
 And all that truly love you
 been travelling with you always.
 Well I hope you're right.
 ♪
 I won't ask you I'm afraid to know
 how long it's been since you had a friend
 who laid you down to know.
 And I remember drinking in the old train lot.
 A horn would blare and it sat in the air
 and you'd count your love me nots.
 You said all things are passing
 but maybe not die today.
 And all that truly love you
 been travelling with you always.
 Well I hope you're right.
 Cuz I'm a low class no culture
 sleeping possum who killed a vulture.
 Don't come down looking for a fool in me.
 I'm not mad or disappointed
 at what you need I got what I wanted.
 Don't get up looking for your man in me.
 ♪
 Don't you ask me when you already know.
 We're here again cuz the will it been
 So smile and let it roll.
 I remember all laughing for an old dead friend
 There ain't no bliss when there's nothing to lose
 so smile and let it in.
 No me and you or nothing to prove
 So smile and take my hand.
