Names

I'm always try'n' to work it out, try'n' to find a phrase
As I'm getting' older, reflectin' on my days
N' I've thought about it for a while; it's focused in frame
In facin' all rejections, I'd wanna know your name
Life has humbled me; The People I Know
Most important part was castin' This Show
But I couldn't rest easy, be right with My Main Man
If I didn't tell you this: you were in My Plan

Yeah, I'm takin' names
One o' them is you
Look, it ain't so strange
Nothin' better I could do

Well, there's not much room on The Stage for me, today
The Elephant's in The Room, n' then 'e turned gray
Yeah, he had some Cool Times, like Dancin' on The Lawn
With Tambourines in The Backyard, over at John's
Shoulda wrote a postcard; shoulda said hello
My Life was right in front o' me, then I came to know
Time is The Fool's Chance to squander The Space
N' I'm so glad to be a part of This Human Race

Yeah, I'm takin' names
One o' them is you
Look, it ain't so strange
Nothin' better I could do

Well, now, here's to everyone who's ever done me wrong
I felt so good about it that I wrote down this song
For those occasions when I got somethin' right
Please keep me in y're pray'rs n' I'll try to sleep at night
Lookin' back on My Times; lookin' back on My Years
'N all The Machinations n' Turnin's of Gears
The Stuff I could count on was faith, hope n' love
N' Verily I say unto you: The Greatest is Love

Yeah, I'm takin' names
One o' them is you
Look, it ain't so strange
Nothin' better I could do

What's yo' name? What is yo' name? I wanna know yo' name
Hey, what's yo' name? What is yo' name? I wanna know yo' name

Well, Some Folk keep talkin' 'bout The Time Back in The Day
Funny thing about it is: The Day is still Today
N' now, I'm buskin' Here, guitar in my hands
Singin' like Corner Willie, n' playin' with My Band
N'I hate to admit it, but My Time is gettin' tight
Sorry if I missed yo' name befo' My Big Goodnight
Apologies to everyone I ever done wrong
I've thought a lot about It, n' I wrote down This Song

Yeah, I'm takin' names
One o' them is you
Look, it ain't so strange
Nothin' better I could do
Yeah, I'm takin' names
One o' them is you
Look, it ain't so strange
Nothin' better I could do

Haa
