Loner

Out on the road for the first time. A virgin running to the sun. Thinkin' 'bout my folks in a world so far from mine, Worrying about their eldest son. And they're asking me, "How will you survive boy?" And I say that I'll get by. And they say to me, "Don't forget to write boy." And I say, "When I have the time you know I'll try." 'Cause I'm a loner. I'm a loner. I'm a loner. Won't you please leave me alone? As time went by I finally had a chance to visit. I almost Wished I hadn't come. When we sat down to eat the questions started coming. Interrogation had begun. They started asking me, "Where'd you get that tan boy?" And I say, "Out on the beaches of life." And they say to me, "Why don't you get hitched boy?" And I say, " The last thing I need is a wife." And they say to me, "You better go to school boy." And I say, "When it's my time I'll know." And they're asking me, "What if you get drafted?" And I say, "If that's the case, then I won't go!" 'Cause I'm a loner. I'm a loner. I'm a loner. Won't you please leave me alone? And they say to me, "You don't need three dogs boy." And I say that we all need a friend. And they're asking me, "Don't they give you hard times?" And I say, " Yeah, but they'll be there in the end." And they're asking me, "Why you look like Jesus?" And I say, "It ain't because I try." But when they're asking me, " How much do you party?" I say, "I just like to get high, and high, and high, and higher!" 'Cause I'm a loner. I'm a loner. And I'm a stoner. Won't you please leave me alone?
