bitter

I could slip, I could fall
In that mean and awful hall
With the other jealous bitches
And the bitter grumbling men

I could sneer, I could glare,
Say that life is so unfair
And the one who made it,
Made it ’cause her breasts were really big

Well, I don’t wanna get bitter
I don’t wanna turn cruel
I don’t wanna get old
Before I have to

I could bitch, I could moan
Say I want to be left alone
But that’s not really true
Because I like my time with you

Till you rant and you rave
Wishing fat folks to their grave
But I feel sorry for them
You say they get what they deserve

Well, I don’t wanna get bitter
I don’t wanna turn cruel
I don’t wanna get old
Before I have to

And I don’t wanna get jaded
Petrified and weighted
I don’t wanna get bitter like you

Like you, with the darts in your eyes
Like you, with disdain for mankind
I was charmed, now I wonder

Well I don’t wanna get bitter
I don’t wanna turn cruel
I don’t wanna get old
Before I have to

So I’ll smile with the rest
Wishing everyone the best
And know the one who made it
Made it ’cause she was actually pretty good

But I don’t wanna get bitter
I don’t wanna turn cruel
I don’t wanna get old
Before I have to

And I don’t wanna get jaded
Petrified and weighted
I don’t wanna get bitter like you

No, I don’t wanna get bitter
I don’t wanna turn cruel
I don’t wanna get old
Before I have to

And I don’t wanna get jaded (I’m not jaded)
Petrified and weighted (I don’t wanna get bitter)
I don’t wanna get bitter like you

Well you and I, we’re buddies
And we’ve been since we first met
Me and you
Well we’ve sure been through
Our share of laughter and regret

Lord knows we’ve had our bad days
And more than once we’ve disagreed
But you’ve always been a friend to me

You can be so stubborn
There’s times I think you just like to fight
And I hope and pray
I live to see a day
When you say I might be right

And there’s times I’d rather kill you
Than listen to your honesty
But you’ve always been a friend to me

You’ve always been
Time and again
The one to take my hand
And show to me that it’s okay to be
Just the way I am
With no apology

Oh you’ve always been
And you will till God knows when
Yes you’ve always been a friend to me

Re-post

Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
But don’t fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Don’t fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evenin’ breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don’t fence me in

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise

I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
I can’t look at the hobbles and I can’t stand fences
Don’t fence me in

Alright
(Land, lots of land, lots of land, lots of land
Land, lots of land, starry skies above
Starry skies above, starry skies above
Land, lots of land, lots of land, lots of land)

Let me be by myself in the evenin’ breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I beg you please
Don’t fence me in

Oh no, don’t fence me in
