lyrics

And I got lost
in the Land of Nod
Asleep on the bus,
have a drink on the metro.

I might be gone
but I keep on singing your songs
now I all I want is to hear you
sing along with me
your voice soft and sweet

but that's a tall glass of water
that you gave to me.
You know I'm your only daughter
so why you act so mean?

I never did so fine in the land of milk and honey
I never did so fine in the land where my daddy raised me
I never got as high as I did when the devil found me
I never felt as right as I did with your arms, your arms around me.

Now I'm waking up
with the sun
with an alarm clock.
A bed that's too small,
a room with a window.

And if I could
sing a song to bring the dogs home
you know that I would
but that's one thing I beg you never
ask of me.

I'm not so good with tall orders
just like my mama Eve.
She said heaven was too boring
that's why she had to leave.
