Am I to believe

I'm on life row for you

I've only taken the lives I needed to

It is only for safe keeping here

As they figured out what to do

Retired now I think the lot is mine

Leaving tread on the ground

It's not a hard road to follow

Knackers I got you not

And I'm getting fat eating nuts of bull

Just keeping it real

Never heard of an oyster on the prairie

But it seems I lost my pearl

Did I lose my clam too

I sure hope she finds me all nice and hairy


What else am I to believe

Other than I'm worth the time waiting

If I rush into this and take leave

I may lose all that I've been anticipating

And may never have anything again
