Shes stepping out with my good friend

I hope he has better luck

Thought there was something..going on.

Strange how change is seldom realized.

I am Jacks total lack of surprise.

Sat and watched the evening news and listened to

His address.

When telling what hed do bout New Orleans, he swelled his chest

He said, The damage will subside around a year. Andy ours truly will be there drinking beer.

Thats when I had a tall swig of bourbon. And that bout did me in and blew it all away.

Did you hear about the tribe who lived ?

Its said they sought higher ground.

Gathered up some twigs for houses and then they were northern bound.

When asked how they knew when to disappear, they said, Weve known to watch the tide for many years.

And that provoked some thinking

Of a lot of things

Until I went to bed and dreamt it all away.

People, let me tell you bout my good friend. I punched him in the gut.

Guess he never knewhow crazy I really was.

Between fighting and taking in the view, Im waking up and Im filling up my shoes.

And thats the news.
