It Depends On The Whether

I was trouble when I was younger
I’m trouble now I’m older
There’s a story to be told
That hasn’t yet been told
I can go to work all day
For net to no pay
I can do as I’m told
Or I can walk away
It depends on the whether
It depends on the whether

I used to play in deadmens shoes
I played at being dead
I’d die anywhere I’d choose
In the park or in my bed
Now I’m real enough to do
Anything I want to
I can leave it in my head
Or I can kick it up to you
It depends on the whether
It depends on the whether

I used to duck when I got in
Afraid of being struck
More than words were flying then
Across kitchens and such
And if ever I was to say to you
With self hypnosis it didn’t hurt so much
It would be a lie
It depends on the whether
It depends on the whether

If I could think of more things t say to you
I would stick around
But I think I just ground the last of them
With my heel into the ground
Later if we ever meet
It’ll be on those old streets
I used to pound and my heart kept the beat

But it’ll depend on the whether
It’ll depend on the whether

Over the years I’ve spoken more words
Than all of the stars I can see
Sung methodist hymns in church
It’s where I happened to be
After all the things that I have seen
You’d think I’d have found something
That didn’t hurt didn’t leave me in the lurch
But it’ll depend on the whether
It’ll depend on the whether

I was trouble when I was younger
I’m trouble now I’m older
There’s a story to tell
That hasn’t yet been told
I can go to work all day
Except for no pay
I can do as #i’m told
Or I can walk away
It’ll depend on the whether
