lyrics

Babyboy pounding pavement all through Queens
With leash draped over shoulder and collar ‘round his sleeve
Mama said “Be home by quarter-twelve!”
It’s two-fifteen.
But they don’t understand, they don’t understand the stakes
Letting paw-prints wander aimless, letting Darwin have his day
Oh Babyboy, head back for now. Get some rest.

But he says “I ain’t going back tonight.
I ain’t losing that pup to bitter sidewalk singing.
From the soles of my shoes to the corners of my eyes, don’t be surprised
If by morning I am bringing you back home.”

Anna’s slowly making headway
Fighting riptide to the shoreline
Doctor says she’s doing just fine
Made her post-op plans on Wednesday
And her friends are all but faithful
God, her mom and dad are angry
Kicked her out without a Plan B, so she takes a ride for days
And plays her favorite songs
The ones we all know wrong
She is soulful and then she turns woeful again
And I…I stupidly say “What’s the dif?”
She turns around, stands her ground, and says

“I ain’t backing down tonight. I ain’t giving one inch of this here blessed body.
From Adam’s apple bump to the hairy toes nobody knows
Understand me, I am finally coming home.”

Everyday seems a shallow rotten path
Plagued by bitterness and worry
By sinew, flesh, and bone
Keeps me panting wide-eyed through the dark ‘til the sun
And I don’t understand, I don’t understand the shakes
Fears that babyboy long conquered
Doubts that Anna never had
I feel them breath, I shift my weight, and ask

Am I worth my salt tonight?
Am I doing good or am I empty swinging?
Though the fated hand reaches coldly from the skies for your demise
Keep your head up
Time to build a better home

And I ain’t losing sleep tonight

I ain’t losing sleep tonight
