Let me die out in the boons
It took me thirteen years to bloom
They broke up, but he's alright
We'll be in town till late tonight
I'm dyin' in the boons

And I hate a hungry crowd
Worst of 'em all, talk the loudest
I guess I'll die out here
With a hammer and a beer
Just dyin' in the boons

So leave me out of that talk downtown
I have found everything I'll ever need
Real deep
In the boons

I met a girl deep in the city
She said she don't mind sittin' with me
I let my troubles float away
I had myself a simple day
Just dyin' in the boons

And how I miss the quick-stop line
They say hello every time
No concern for politics
Come on home, I'll check for ticks
Love me gently in the boons

And why does everyone I know
Have somewhere else to go?
Won't you look up from your hands?
Let's be still while we still can
Stay a while, out in the boons

So leave me out of that talk downtown
I have found everything I'll ever need
Real deep
In the boons

Let me die out in the boons
It took me thirteen years to bloom
I'm beat up but I'm alright
I'll be in town till late tonight
Just dyin' in the boons
