The Home Stretch

The Home Stretch - Loudon Wainwright III[00:00:00]

If the day off doesn't get you[00:00:06]

Then the bad reviewer does[00:00:09]

At least you've been a has been[00:00:12]

And not just a never was[00:00:15]

And you know it's not a mountain[00:00:18]

But no mole hill is this big[00:00:21]

And you promise to quit drinking[00:00:24]

As you light another cig[00:00:27]

Once again you're in the home stretch[00:00:33]

But you're not sure where you live[00:00:37]

You recall a small apartment[00:00:40]

And a government you give[00:00:43]

Large amounts of money to[00:00:47]

So you're allowed to stay[00:00:49]

And rest until you're well enough[00:00:53]

To leave again and play[00:00:56]

You are making human contact[00:01:26]

With the postcards that you send[00:01:29]

To the children of your ex wifes[00:01:32]

And a woman your girlfriend[00:01:35]

Who is living in a city[00:01:38]

Thousands of miles away[00:01:42]

That is full of young male models[00:01:44]

Not all of whom are gay[00:01:47]

In the meanwhile you've stopped writing songs[00:01:54]

There's nothing left to say[00:01:57]

You'd like to get your old job back[00:02:00]

And mow lawns again one day[00:02:02]

But you keep lifting up your left leg[00:02:06]

Sticking out your tongue[00:02:10]

There's nothing else that you can do[00:02:13]

And you're too old to die young[00:02:15]

Too many beds too many towns[00:02:47]

Not much to declare zones[00:02:49]

London broils and tuna melts on dirty microphones[00:02:53]

While the sound man's falling fast asleep[00:02:58]

The light man's been up for days[00:03:01]

The club owner and arithmetic[00:03:04]

Have long since parted ways[00:03:07]

As for the lovely audience[00:03:13]

Tonight they're rather cold[00:03:16]

But they're prepared to listen[00:03:20]

All they have to be is told[00:03:22]

If the day off doesn't get you[00:03:26]

Then the bad reviewer does[00:03:28]

At least you've been a has been[00:03:33]

And not just a never was[00:03:35]
