lyrics

Hey, I'm getting out of the house, I've been crazy as a loon, I've been quiet as a mouse,
Yeah, been going mad for a while, but I don't care anymore if I was ever in style,
No I don't care anymore, if I was ever in style

Hey, going down to the lake, and I don't care anymore if it's a terrible mistake,
Yeah, gonna stare at the sky, and I don't care anymore about my piece of the pie,
No I don't care anymore if I can ever decide

There ain't one grand solution, there ain't no perfect fit,
It's just the normal confusion, and it ain't so bad...
Once you get the hang of it...(once you get, once you get the hang of it)

Hey, I'm going downtown, won't get myself jailed, I'm just delivering sound,
Hey, going down to the sea, and I don't care anymore who they expect me to be,
No I don't care anymore who they expect me to be

I'll never be that person, that role will never fit,
There's still a whole lot worse and, it ain't so bad,
Once you get the hang of it...(once you get, once you get the hang of it)

Hey...going out past the lines,
Away...from my cynical mind,
Go play...whatever song I feel,
Pray...that I'm gonna make it real...that I'm gonna make it real...today...

Hey I'm going to the bank, gonna take a little money,
Gonna fill up my tank,
Yeah, I ain't never gonna quit,
No I can't stop now, just got the hang of it,
No I can't stop now, just got the hang of it...

You got to keep on, You got to keep on,
Hang on!

Thank you, Dancers!

I knew Bob before he was 'Slim'. Then lost touch. Always followed him musically from Buzz Barker and the Atomic Bums to his solo work. I was never much into listening to live music at First Ave or bars so I didn't really get to watch him play and sing. I did see him open for Roseanne Cash once. Take care Bob! clayb
