  Half-Baked (And Proud Of It) By: Noah Eaton 11/15/03 Well I've done all my homework and got my degree I wore my collar and said my valedictory speech I've paid my dues and followed my schedule I've done what I've been told, y'all But I was also made in the shade Cuz bein' with the birds and the bees is my kinda day I love to tune up that guitar real loud And you better have that steel guitar around, cuz I'm half-baked and proud of it Lord knows I'm a work in progress I love my lawn chair and my tanning salon sun I ain't all about common sense I like to drink from the hose I love watching the green grass grow I've got a country soul, that southern comfort bliss I'm half-baked and proud of it I don't care what the weatherman has to say Cuz I'm lovin' it every step of the way I don't mind when the light burns out on the front porch Cuz I've got fireflies on my screen door I put all my spare change in the church collection plate When I ask for a ride, I love an ol' pick-up truck any day Cuz nothin' beats an allison transmission And a lunch pail with bratwurst and cornbread muffins I'm half-baked and proud of it Lord knows I'm a work in progress I love my lawn chair and my tanning salon sun I ain't all about common sense I like to drink from the hose I love watching the green grass grow I've got a country soul, that southern comfort bliss I'm half-baked and proud of it Wakin' with the chickens is what I love to do I love to walk these dirty roads like molasses in June I never put on that much SPF-15 Guess I need a little sunburn so you can see... I'm half-baked and proud of it Lord knows I'm a work in progress I love my lawn chair and my tanning salon sun I ain't all about common sense I like to drink from the hose I love watching the green grass grow I've got a country soul, that southern comfort bliss I'm half-baked and proud of it I've got a country soul, that southern comfort bliss I'm half-baked and proud of it   I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth I can see the sun set and I perceive ***Live*** [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (11-15-2003 05:55 PM).] |
