I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
Far is solace in the maddening pace
Sad state written on my face
Not a tight rope walk but dance
Uncertain game of chance
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
And if a person place or thing can deliver
I will quiver with delight
But at twenty years of age
In frolic and in rage
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
But the dawn has come into the endless night
And everything's going to be all right
But at thirty years of age
Through frolic and in rage
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
Said I, said I, said I
