odd life would be if you had made it
from Elmira to Kansas City,
Instead you cried the whole way,
but like Billy said, "you can't be everything you want to be,
because everyone will wait for you,
so stand still, the air will move,
"what the hell is the rush?"
Well you, you're one to talk,
but I know you hated being late,
still on this side of the grass,
but lately I'm feeling halfway there,
and that's a long time for late lives
I know I drove myself to this,
I think you already know,
I think you already heard,
how odd life would be if you
had made it from Elmira to Kansas city,
"that's as good as it gets,
