You don’t know what someone’s like until you go
You don’t know what someone’s capable of
Till their desperate, high and dry
It’s easy to get sleazy when your back’s against the wall
But now I think it’s time for me to fall
The sun is setting fast on my Blue Ridge home
Nightfall in the Land of Sky is dark indeed, don’t you know
As long as I have stayed up, I have still to see sunrise
And now I think it’s time for me to shine
But it’s hard to leave when the drinks are free
It’s hard to laugh with you all when the jokes on me
I thought I had the sense God gave the come in from the cold
Now I think it’s time for me to go
But it’s hard to leave when the drinks are free
It’s hard to laugh with you all when the jokes on me
I thought I had the sense God gave the common buffalo
Now I think it’s time for me to go
