Just By Myself - Greg Brown

I’ll walk around

Some ancient city,

Write in my notebook,

And drink my tea.

Don’t have to make love,

'cause love made me,

And I’ll be happy

Just by myself.

Hey-ay-ay-ay-ay.

I’ll make my supper

'bout ten oclock,

And watch the moon rise

Above my block,

And go to bed

In just my socks,

And I’ll be happy

Just by myself.

Hey-ay-ay-ay-ay.

And I’ll go fishin'-

Get with the flow.

I know a river

In Idaho.

I’ll catch a big trout

And let him go,

And I’ll be happy

Just by myself.

Hey-ay-ay-ay-ay.

Love never made a-

A fool of me.

I always was one

As you could see.

I can’t be good,

So I’ll be free.

Ummm, and I’ll be happy

Just by myself.

Hey-ay-ay-ay-ay.

I’ll fold the laundry, just like I please.

And put the sheets on, just like I please.

And in my dreams, find sweet release.

Ummm, and I’ll be happy

Just by myself.

Hey-ay-ay-ay-ay.

Happy, oh-oh-oh.

Happy, hey-ay-ay-ay-ay
