I Don't Want to Let You Down
Take a vacation? Yeah, maybe I will, or
Maybe I'll swallow this bitter pill instead
And hope to god that I just don't wake up
I could use the time off to gather
All of my feeble thoughts
But I don't want to let you down
And make you wish that I'd disappear
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
Hanging from a noose on daddy's branch of the
Family tree, dying as it stands with
Roots deep in the earth, I'll be swinging back and forth
I could use the time off to gather
All of my feeble thoughts
But I don't want to let you down
And make you wish that I'd disappear
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
Take a vacation? Yeah, maybe I will, or
Maybe I'll swallow this bitter pill instead
And hope to god that I just don't wake up
I could use the time off to gather
All of my feeble thoughts
But I don't want to let you down
And make you wish that I'd disappear
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
Maybe I'll swallow this bitter pill instead
And hope to god that I just don't wake up
I could use the time off to gather
All of my feeble thoughts
But I don't want to let you down
And make you wish that I'd disappear
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
Hanging from a noose on daddy's branch of the
Family tree, dying as it stands with
Roots deep in the earth, I'll be swinging back and forth
I could use the time off to gather
All of my feeble thoughts
But I don't want to let you down
And make you wish that I'd disappear
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
Take a vacation? Yeah, maybe I will, or
Maybe I'll swallow this bitter pill instead
And hope to god that I just don't wake up
I could use the time off to gather
All of my feeble thoughts
But I don't want to let you down
And make you wish that I'd disappear
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to let you down
