David Moody Blues
Words and music by Bobby Angel
The worldās kind of funny. It gets stranger and stranger by the day. I see its less and less like a football. Itās more and more like a stack of hay. You do with it what you want to. There are many straws for you to take, but you canāt be wasting time looking for the needle, ’cause you gotta keep your eye on the lucky break
So Iām going off to where Iām going, Iāll wave farewell around the bend
I got a plan and itās quite a-plenty. Iāll run it ātil it meets its end
Ochopee can get sort of lonely you know. Iāve seen āem come in and Iāve seen āem leave. Somewhere in there I became an old timer. Never thought that Iād see it happen to Steve. But all menās days are numbered. If it aināt days, then its months or its years. You gotta do what you gotta to prepare for it but also learn to let go when the day it draws near
So Iām going off to where Iām going, Iāll wave farewell around the bend
Iāll miss you all quite a-plenty. I wish to see you all again
I wonder what theyāre doing. If they made it big or are settled down. And if that is what they wanted. Or if itās only what they found. My mama said to me āDavid be friendly.” My pa said āson go out and do good.ā Me I look at the bright side and am humble, and occasionally I knock on wood
So Iām going off to where Iām going, Iāll wave farewell around the bend
As I go I see a-plenty. All the lessons they never end.
Working out here all day I see mirages, visions of swamp beauties creeping in. Standing knee deep in the water, I feel Iām on a swampy stage in a big city stage. A logger or two might still be out here, or maybe a farmer searching for his lost hog. Me I got to get moving, before my brain gets too water logged
So Iām going of to where Iām going, Iāll wave farewell around the bend
The road to glory is just up yonder, Iāll ride it ātil it meets its end
