MUSIC FOR SALE

Starting Stalls


I'd ride the range, but I ain't got a horse
I'd tell funny jokes, but they're all quite coarse
I'd sing a song, but it makes me really hoarse
It ain't been long since my last divorce

Chorus
Tell me why I'm hangin on by my nails
Lots of wind, but none of it is in my sails
Stopped a'swingin hoping for a base on balls
Praying for a rerun from the starting stalls

I'd drive my truck, but I can't find my keys
I'd puff funny smokes, but they make me wheeze
I'd get dressed up, but I have to really squeeze
I spend all night hoping not to sneeze

Chorus
Tell me why I'm hangin on by my nails
Lots of wind, but none of it is in my sails
Stopped a'swingin hoping for a base on balls
Praying for a rerun from the starting stalls

I know it's strange, but I don't feel the force
I meet funny folks, but they're all quite coarse
I'd tag along, but it leads to real remorse
It's not the life that I would endorse

Chorus
Tell me why I'm hangin on by my nails
Lots of wind, but none of it is in my sails
Stopped a'swingin hoping for a base on balls
Praying for a rerun from the starting stalls
