This is a time to be cautious; this is a time to be smart
|
This is a time to consider the options, be careful with games of the heart
|
A time for young fellas to carry umbrellas
|
And considering the climate, you really might find it
|
The right time to stay at home
|
|
The booze gets your liver, but when you consider
|
The condition of water, a man really ought to
|
Abstain for the night and just stay home
|
|
It's dangerous out on the freeway, its dangerous out in the bars
|
Everybody's mad at somebody, it¡¯s dangerous to drink and drive cars
|
|
Whiskeys¡¯s bad for your liver, but stop and consider
|
The condition of water, then maybe you ought to
|
Find a good book and stay home
|
|
AIDS is to real to be foolish, it¡¯s changed all the rules we play by
|
You can't take chances in other peoples' pants it's
|
Too risky to just casually try
|
|
Now I only smile at our social lifestyle
|
It all leaves me believing I'd find more relief in
|
Some Earl Klugh and the refuge of home
|
So now I turn off the porch light, next I'll unplug the phones
|
I'll get on my robe and my jammies, a nice fire sure warms the bones
|
|
I might write a letter, but what I like better
|
Is taking my guitar down and playing an old song
|
That makes me feel glad I stayed home
