Angling Tom Sawyer



Angling Tom Sawyer

Five sheets to the wind and that’s quite a lick
Pour out that tequila or is it gin reeking of tonic?
If I slide out the bar, with whom will I end up home?
The blonde, the brunette, red head or someone equally undone

Questions to ponder for the night’s still young
Daylight’s the conjurer and it weighs a ton
Somewhere in the mix, was a lover to stay
But you see I’m a wanderer and it rhymes with philanderer

Dammit do I laugh, because I’m one of those
Conformity irritates me and convention is an evil invention
So I search and have found, but they’ve all been me
And I’ve been them, always fighting to be free

How long until that difference runs out?
You know when it does because when she left it was empty all night
So now I turn and seek what I dismissed
To be on the sober solid way with one forever, off the stage and on track is tough
