I Went into Town

I went into town

For the first time this year

All the bookstores were shut down

All the streets were all clear

Nobody was around

Even the rats were not here

Ooh, did they say they were leaving?

Did they even leave a note?

I'm looking on every post

For any kind of a sign

Maybe an arrow to show me the way

Did they leave here for the day?

Or are they hiding and afraid?

I went back

Back into my woods

Back to my home

Where I live alone

So I lit a fire

And I lit a smoke

Thinking 'bout the town

Was it some kind of joke?

Ooh, are they hiding from me?

Did they catch some kind of disease?

Or did they blow away with the breeze?

I have enough to last through the winter, one winter

But come spring, I'll need to supply

And though I like my space and my busted face

I couldn't live if everyone died

Oh, it's getting dark

It's getting cold

Feeling my age

How I'm getting old

Tomorrow, when I wake

I'll go back to town

See if I can find

Anyone around
