Ki-Yi Bossie

in a cold church basement
one november friday night
come along, come along
in a twelve step meeting
under harsh flourescent light
and that's bright
hey come on

i know i deserved to be there
but i don't remember why
i was looking for salvation
but nothing caught my eye
my turn to tell my story
and i guess it's worth a try
come along, come along
come along, come along
come-a Ki Yi Bossie
come-a Bossie come along
come Ki Yi Bossie come along
come-a Ki Yi Bossie
come-a Bossie come along
come along, come along
come along, come along
well i guess she had other interests
she had something else to do
you okay?

well, me too
so tell me
whatcha gonna whatcha gonna whatcha gonna do
well okay
boo hoo
so now the happy hour
is raining on my shoes
and it's not all that important
which poison that you choose
when you're tuned enough
to sing the roaming
coke and whiskey blues
and that melody
comes through
and now you're paying
your dues
come-a Ki Yi Bossie

come-a Bossie come along
come Ki Yi Bossie come along
come-a Ki Yi Bossie
come-a Bossie come along
come along, come along
come along, yeah come on

back before i drove a pickup
and i took up buckin bales
come along, come along
i was looking high and low for meaning
i was into saving whales
before they're all gone
but the weeds grow high
it's where it all begins
when i stopped to wonder why
that was fertile ground for sin
just pour some whiskey on
and watch the fun begin
come on, come along
what could possibly go wrong
here pour a little whiskey
on that fertile patch of soil
come along, come along
sprinkle in a little heartache
watch the ground begin to boil
now it's

it's coming on strong
as it starts to take a shape
there ain't nothing there to like
you best have quick reaction
to the rattle coil and strike
time to change the scenery
it's time to hit the pipe
and okay
i'm gone
they say each of us has meaning
time to bring that all to light
well alright, right on

come along, come along
come-a Ki Yi Bossie
come Bossie come along
come-a Ki Yi Bossie come along
come-a Ki Yi Bossie
come Bossie come along
come along, come along
come-a Ki Yi Bossie
come Bossie come along
come-a Ki Yi Bossie come along
come-a Ki Yi Bossie
