Lyrics

[Intro]
[strummed acoustic guitar, steady kick drum pulse]
[Verse 1]
[male vocals]
Paper bags and bottles of sin on the lawn
Nobody's crying, you're mentioned and gone
Sitting right there like there's no place to be at all
[acoustic guitar continues rhythmic strumming]
[Chorus]
[vocalizing in falsetto]
Ho-oh-oh-oh
Ho-oh-oh-oh
[bass guitar enters]
I've got all that I need
It's all coming to you
That's how I've gotten the way
And I have gotten the way
I have gotten the way
Know that I've gotten the way
[Verse 2]
[acoustic guitar, kick drum, bass]
Grandma comes out and she's smoking her cigarette breath
I can't help feeling there's something inside going on
She just sits smiling in different ways
[electric guitar swells]
Not on the sunny road
[Chorus]
[vocalizing]
Ho-oh-oh-oh
Ho-oh-oh-oh
How's about talking and wondering proud
Now I am wondering where
Gotten the way for me
Gotten the way
How's about bluffing and wondering about nothing and somebody came along
Said something about your cousin I swear that wasn't going on
And I got crazy and ran a whole step and it was wild to say
Now I don't know where I am
There I said, oh well
They said I've gotten the way
Gotten the way for myself
I don't know where I am
Gotten the way
Gotten the way
Oh I don't know where I am after you
[Outro]
Next morning I say
Oh I don't know what I'll be doing if everything goes away
Away, away, away
[acoustic guitar fades]
Let me just stay, stay
Let me just stay
