Whoo Hooooo - a Song

Born here girl, I swear I’m never coming back, Too light town got lost beside a railroad track, Rhythm of the rails inside my gunny sack, There may be no cure for what it is I lack, Promises to be my nymphomaniac, Sugar pills can’t cure the pain of lumberjack, And I’m gone, Whoo Hooooo, so gone! Whoo Hooooo, no tears, Whoo Hooooo! Where I’m going girl you cannot come along, Barely have the room for even Country song, Never really meant to ever treat you wrong, Though this may seem mean I ain’t no Vietcong, Trying hard to never be your enemy, Truth just isn’t always what we want to see, And I’m gone, Whoo Hooooo, so gone! Whoo Hooooo, no tears, Whoo Hooooo! Trains just keep on rollin’ don’t care what they do, Following steel ribbons till the day is thru, Hope I can do better choosing my guru, Life can sometimes steer us down wrong avenue, Still a song could be the way to set things right, Music that comes on to me without a fight, And I’m gone, Whoo Hooooo, so gone! Whoo Hooooo, no tears, Whoo Hooooo! Homeless boy just singing what he feels inside, I ain’t asking no one to give me a ride, Not too proud to make use of a coming tide, Don’t give a rat’s ass for life that’s amplified, No need to extoll a lie that’s right for you, Caring for my own is all I need to do, And I’m gone, Whoo Hooooo, so gone! Whoo Hooooo, no tears, Whoo Hooooo! Brian Johnston June 5, 2015
