I'Ve Got Myself!

I see the purple sky across the ridge
Hear the hustling water beyond that bridge
With a bottle of beer, straight from the bar
I walk hand in hand with my guitar.
 
Took a jump from sky like an apple so witty
That could spread its wings but for law of gravity
It aint that easy honey to make a free fall
When you got nothing to hold on to, none to call
And here I sit so lone, making pink sand puff
I know I got myself and yeah that's enough.
 
They look and stare at me as if I'm painted black
And turn from red to green, they know what they lack
I drag along the road amid the simmering hues
Strumming on my guitar one of my Golden Blues
I need no chicken steak! I got my candy fluff
I know I got myself and yeah that's enough!

I hold bubbles of dreams in my champagne eyes
I see the light of truth through tunnel of lies
I'll take a roller coaster ride across the Milky Way
Make my rules n kick 'em all, the dolls of clay
And those who call me mean and think I'm rough
Tell them I got myself and yeah that's enough!
