The Thing Of It Is - Hey Buddy Buddy

American pie in a clear lake café
At the end of an era down some rainy day
Oh Buddy Buddy have you gone from the fray
In a hurry to go but they're making you stay

Yesterday's wires running all down the line
Of a past that was yours that I wish was all mine
Passing on a buck but stopping on a dime
A penny for your thoughts but not a nickel for mine

Hey Buddy Buddy where you been
Hey Buddy Buddy my old friend

I met God in the dark
I found God in the park
I met God at the beach
I saw God out of reach
I caught God out of breath
I pulled God out of death
I asked God for a loan
I pled God take me home

Is she reading her book
Is she checking her feet
Is she scanning the pavement for coins in the street
Is she noting her breasts
Is she fluffing her nest
Is she feeling her worst
As she hopes for the best

Hey Buddy Buddy where you been
Hey Buddy Buddy from way back when

Oh Buddy Buddy as you hang on the wall
Well they keep coming here just cause you took a fall
A promising shortcut took up out of town
With a pilot who didn't see up was real down

Hey Buddy Buddy where you been
Hey Buddy Buddy come on back in
Hey Buddy Buddy my old friend
