[Verse 1]
             
It’s not easy 

            
to please me, 

  
I know
             
I wish that I

 some good new

s
             
But my heart b

             
eats like a ta

             
ttoo on an old

     
 tin drum
             
It's rolling d

             
own the gray g

      
ravel road
            
From the house

             
 that used to 

      
be my home
           
Before the har

d times

[Verse 2]
            
Well, I got si

At the thought

             
 of ever missi

blue world, al

But you were s

             
omething sweet

ck
             
A Jolly Ranche

my lips
            
And my teeth a
