I Guess

When someone speaks I lend an ear, I just don't remember why I'm here. Sheriff said he's thrown the key away. I can't make a call, so no-one knows. I guess that that's just how it goes-- So I'll have time to live another day. Been forty days, cold forty nights. Turn me loose, I know my rights. Sheriff grins and then he tells me I am wrong. There's many doors to locked up rooms, don't want to die in these prison tombs. I can only do my begging through my song. So, I go running through my mind, with green grass and a melon rind. In my darkness it's my light of day. When someone speaks I lend an ear, I just don't remember why I'm here. Sheriff said he's thrown the key away. I can't make a call, so no-one knows.
