Shades of ’63

Oh I think I'm gonna walk in the rain today
Let it wash my pain away
Maybe I will catch a train and go to Tennessee
Maybe I will go to Tennessee and see what there is left of me
Of what I was in '63
Nothing stays the same
Oh I think I might just catch a plane

No I think I'm going to lay in the sun today
I have a place where I can stay
A house right on Perdido Bay where the folks are good to me
I think I am going to lay down in the sun until I am good and well and done
And maybe when the sun goes down
The night will set me free
I think I'm gonna walk in the sun

No I think I wanna be alone today
Thanks for asking anyway
If I get drunk or if I pray either way I'm on my knees
I think I wanna be alone today
Old Tom Dolan passed away
Oh the sky is cold and gray and I am not much company
I think I wanna be alone

Well I think I'm gonna sit in the shade today
Watch the children run and play
Watch my children run and play and set my laughter free
I think I will sit in the shade today
In this rocking chair my daddy made
When I was a little baby sitting on his knee
Shades of '43
