Ain't Gonna Worry No More

Bare feet poppin' on a pine wood floor A tumble rush of desert flowers side the door Music box is pretty with the piebald stripes Dust mote diamonds in a shaft of light Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more Everybody's laughin', now it won't be long We've seen a lot of troubles, now the ghost is gone Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more I ain't gonna worry no more Waitin' at the depot for a London train Tryin' to paint a picture in the pourin' rain Hangin' out the window runnin' out of blue Tomcat in the alley dodged a worn out shoe Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more Everybody's laughin', now it won't be long We've seen a lot of troubles, now the ghost is gone Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more I ain't gonna worry no more He fourteen, dressed in his father's hat Even had a little mustache just like that Told the crazy lady at the corner shop I'll take a pack of camels and a bottle of schnapps Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more I ain't gonna worry no more Back then they had a war that weren't no good Everybody said they'd do what they could Some went to Canada, some went down With the FBI to the jail downtown Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more Everybody's laughin', now it won't be long We've seen a lot of troubles, now the ghost is gone Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more I ain't gonna worry no more Hear the roar of jets comin' over the park The glow of cigarettes in the dark Do your bones turn to water? Does the sky turn black? Caught at ground zero in a missile attack Come on down, come on down Ah, come on down Bananas are cheap, that's united fruit They cut off labor unions at the root Murdered the tribes to clear the way For the puppet government and CIA Come on down When I walked by a theater with a shining sign Said, "Lightning Hopkins playing here tonight" Paid my last three bucks and went inside There he was in the big spotlight Come on down, come on down She's the sweetest woman that I've ever known If I die tomorrow for I turn to stone I'll close my eyes, travel back in time 23rd and mission walking side by side Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more 'Coz everybody's laughin', now it won't be long We've seen a lot of troubles, now the ghost is gone Come on down, I ain't gonna worry no more I ain't gonna worry no more
