Schwa Lyrics

Loner

Lyricist: Dave Katz
Vocalist: Dave Katz

Out on the road for the first time,  a virgin runnin’ to the sun
Thinkin' 'bout my folks in a world so far from mine, worrying about their eldest son
And they're asking me, "How will you survive boy?"
And I say that I'll get by
And they say to me, "Don't forget to write boy"
And I say, "When I have the time you know I'll try"
'Cause I'm a loner, I'm a loner, I'm a loner
Won't you please leave me alone

As time went by I finally had a chance to visit, I almost wished I hadn't come
We sat down to eat and the questions started coming., interrogation had begun
And they’re asking me, "Where'd you get that tan boy?"
And I say, "Out on the beaches of life"
And they say to me, "Why don't you get hitched boy?"
And I say, " The last thing I need is a wife"
And they say to me, "You better go to school boy."
And I say, "When it's my time I'll know"
And they're asking me, "What if you get drafted?"
And I say, "If that's the case, then I won't go"
'Cause I'm a loner, I'm a loner, I'm a loner
Won't you please leave me alone

And they say to me, "You don't need three dogs boy"
And I say that we all need a friend
And they're asking me, "Don't they give you hard times?"
And I say, " Yeah, but they'll be there in the end"
And they're asking me, "Why you look like Jesus?"
And I say, "It ain't because I try"
But when they're asking me, " How much do you party?"
I say, "I just like to get high, and high, and high, and higher"
'Cause I'm a loner, I'm a loner, and I'm a stoner 
Won't you please leave me alone
