Note to Myself

Saw a big raven on the shoulder of the road
Picking at some road-kill roasting in the sun
Made a note to myself, if I’m reincarnated
And I get to pick my next life
Don’t pick that one

Look at all the green trees
Swaying in the warm breeze
Look at all the big clouds rolling by
I’m driving in my Chevy
Going down to see my baby
Got a picture of her sweet face on my mind

Look at all the dumb cows standing there like statues
Wonder what they’re thinking as I’m driving by
Made a note to myself, I know it may be really tempting
An empty head is not the same as piece of mind

Look at all the green trees
Swaying in the warm breeze
Look at all the big clouds rolling by
I’m driving in my Chevy
Going down to see my baby
Got a picture of her sweet face on my mind

Nothing like summer and being in love
Your arm around your baby
And the radio on
Happiness raining from the heavens above
All of your troubles are gone

When I was a young man I thought I’d live forever
But now that I am older, well, I’m glad it ain’t so
Put my worries on a high shelf, made a note to myself
Enjoy it while you got it
Cause you got to let it go
