Lyrics
I’M DROPPING OUT
Words & Music by Barry David Butler bdbutler@centurylink.net
I’M GONNA FIND A LITTLE HOUSE
ON A BEAUTIFUL LAKE
GROW MY OWN FOOD
WITH LOTS OF GRASS TO RAKE
I’LL GET A LITTLE BOAT
WITH A COOL NEW EVENRUDE
A BRAND NEW SHINING FISHING ROD
AND A GREAT NEW ATTITUDE
I’M DROPPING OUT
CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE
THE WORLD HAS GONE PLUM CRAZY
AND THERE’S WAY TOO MUCH WAR
I’M DROPPING OUT
I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE
THE WORLD IS GOING CRAZY
AND I’M DROPING OUT
I’LL WAKE UP EVERYDAY
WITH A SMILE UPON MY FACE
NEED TO GET AWAY
FROM THIS CRAZY LOONY PLACE
NEED TO FIND SOME PEACE
WHERE I CAN GO AND CHILL
SIMPLIFY MY LIFE
AND COOK SOME BURGERS ON A GRILL
(CHORUS)
I CAN’T WATCH ANOTHER STORY
ON CNN
ABOUT THE WORLD GOIN CRAZY
WHERE WILL IT END
GOTTA GET MYSELF AWAY
FROM ALL THE HORRIBLE NEWS
GOTTA FIND ME ANOTHER PLACE
WITH A WHOLE LOT BETTER VIEWS
(CHORUS)
I JUST DON’T FIT IN
THE WORLD HAS PASSED ME BY
JUST NEED TO FIND A NEW LIFE
AND THAT AIN’T NO LIE
SO WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS
AND OUR OLD DOG ROVER
WE WERE OFF TO GREENER PASTURES
WHERE WE COULD ALL START OVER
