LULLABYE
WORDS AND MUSIC ALAN GARR
COPYRIGHT 2005


I?m ready to go, to leave on my own,
to go it alone, so get me a ride home.
And tell them to take the long way around
?cause I wanna ride up over that mountain.

There?s no good solution out there, it?s high time I threw it all away
and end it today.
These days that make me so sick,
I stop the time and watch it fall away with little to say.

With nothing left and no one else to fear
I?m headed out of here.

So strike up the band and let old glory fly.
I?m finally going home to die.
Tell ?em to be proud about the life I gave
And don?t sing sad music on my grave.

I?m ready to go, to leave on my own,
to go it alone, so get me a ride home.
And tell them to take the long way around
?cause I wanna ride up over that mountain.
