Quiet Man

Lyrics

Strolling down the highway with my shoes in my hand
 I don't talk much I'm a quiet man
 Beauty and silence both run deep
 And I'm running like crazy while you are asleep
 You got news for me
 I got nothing for you
 Don't pin your blues on me
 Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to
 ♪
 Last Monday night I saw a fight
 Between Wednesday and Thursday over Saturday night
 Tuesday asked me what was going on, I said
 "Sunday's in the meadow and Friday's in the corn"
 You got news for me
 I got nothing for you
 Don't pin your blues on me
 Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to
 ♪
 Hocus-pocus, maladjusted
 Don't you think my tears get rusted
 Steady losing means you ain't using
 What you really think is right
 You got news for me
 I got nothing for you
 Don't pin your blues on me
 Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to
 ♪
 Oodles of light, what a beautiful sight
 Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
 Rays and beams of incredible dreams
 And I am a quiet man
 Oodles of light, what a beautiful sight
 Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
 Rays and beams of incredible dreams
 And I am a quiet man
 Oodles of light, what a beautiful sight
 Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
 Rays and beams of incredible dreams
 And I am a quiet man
