original version on 2009's "Portraits of Poor Traits" by Jeff Beam (jeffbeam.bandcamp.com)
lyrics
I never wished I wasn't born in Maine
I'd only hoped it was a little hotter
But I don't care about the cold these days
To mope about it would just be a bother
They say I'm right, to go about it this way
I take my time, I'm never lonely or gray
The world flys by, it's only a play
Happening today
I often wish that I had moved around
Instead of nothing more than staying idle
But I don't think about what might've been
I only focus on the true and vital
They say I'm right, to go about it this way
I take my time, I'm never lonely or gray
The world flys by, it's only a play
Happening today, let's get away
What do you say?
They say I'm right, to go about it this way
I take my time, I'm never lonely or gray
The world flys by, it's only a play
Happening today
It's only a play, happening today
Let's get away, what do you say?
It's only a play, happening today
Let's get away, what do you say?
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
