Lady Ann

When I was younger, younger than you
I’d say lots of stupid shit that I knew I’d never do
Like running up the charts like the seat of my pants
Was a ball of burning flames
I’d have so many goddamned women
I’d have to give them numbers instead of names

I’m gonna to write a book, you’re gonna read it
It’s gonna change your life
I’m gonna write a song there, too
That’ll put an end to strife
I’m gonna find me the smartest woman
I’m gonna make her my wife
We’re gonna live in a goddamned mansion
And roam the hills at night

Lady Ann, where are you now?
Cause I’ve seen some things
I could live without
But there’s people, good people
Who are here tonight
I call them my family
And I call you my wife

Back to the salt mines and my chewed up hands
I drag my tired bones to go and meet the band
Then something takes hold like a shot in the vein
And my eyes, they come alive
I’m forever being born again
When I plug in and play it live

Lady Ann, where are you now?
Cause I’ve seen some things
I could live without
But there’s people, good people
Who are here tonight
I call them my family
And I call you my wife
