Verse 1:
I've been sittin' here to long, just tryin' to write me a song,
But the song won't come, ... can't feel it to-day,
Now I've sat here so-o-o long, it's hurt my old tailbone,
And the pain-n-n, just won't go a-way
Chorus:
O-o-o gotta' get up, I-I-I gotta' get up, gotta' get up, and walk away,
O-o-o gotta' stand up, I-I-I gotta' stand up, but I need to write me a song today.
Verse 2:
Oh I'm still sittin' tall, just given' it my all, And my all ain't all, it outta' be,
Can't write me a song, my songs they've all gone, and my old tailbone is killin' me
Bridge:
But this pain keeps on goin', and it's growin' and growin,' I wonder, just how long,
will it be before it eases so I can do what I pleases, and sit here & write me a song,
Verse 3:
Now I don't know what to do, this pain is through and through,
and my old tailbone feels black and blue, yell it do,
I don't know what to say, but I'll say it anyway, to my old tailbone, damn you!
Chorus & out:
O-o-o gotta' get up, I-I-I gotta' get up, gotta' get up, and walk away,
O-o-o gotta' stand up, I-I-I gotta' stand up, but I need to write me a song today.
