I'M STILL HERE
John Hartford
Gum Tree Canoe Album 1984
Now trains are running towards each other.
Shotguns are pointed at my head.
Tornado clouds are forming o'r the crossroads.
H-bombs are falling towards my bed,
But I'm still here.
Im still here.
Now, how 'bout that?
My city may be falling
But I'm still here
The assassination squad has got their orders.
Repossession man is on his way.
Landlady's given me her notice.
Ill get pitched out in the trash just any day,
But I'm still here.
I'm still here.
Now, how 'bout that?
I may be good as buried
But I'm still here.
Well, the moths ate my shirt, my britches.
They're working on my hat, but I don't care.
I haven't had a meal since the fire went out,
And all you do is stand around and stare,
But I'm still here.
I'm still here.
Now, how about that?
I may be good as buried
But I'm still here.
My cigarettes are gone and so's my money
So are all my nerves and all my teeth
My hair's falling out I'm getting skinny
And all my friends are either dead or on relief
But I'm Still Here ...
I'm Still Here
(How about that?)
I may be good as buried
But I'm still here
Now trains are running towards each other.
Shotguns are pointed at my head.
Tornado clouds are forming o'r the crossroads.
H-bombs are falling towards my bed,
But I'm still here.
Im still here.
Now, how 'bout that?
My city may be falling
But Im still here
I may have lost my lunchbox
But I'm still here
