Piggyback

I read about a guy

When he was 23 years old

Stood there three feet tall

And that's pretty small



But then he grew

To over 7 foot 4

That's where he found he

Couldn't walk no more



And mama had to go away

But daddy says I'll see her again

One day soon

When we go to heaven



Daddy had a hook

Where his hand used to be

He said that hand weren't no good

To me anyway



All I want's a piggyback ride

To get to the other side

Of this beautiful world

Sleep in a big beautiful bed

Beautiful clouds, inside my head



All I want's a piggyback ride

To get to the other side

Of this beautiful world

Sleep in a big beautiful bed

Beautiful clouds, inside my head

Sing a love song



For 30 hours

And 15 minutes

And Jimmy kissed his girl

In front of the whole wide world



On National TV

That's a long time

Not to drink or eat

Or take a pee



All I want's a piggyback ride

To get to the other side

Of this beautiful world

Sleep in a big beautiful bed

Beautiful clouds, inside my head



All I want's a piggyback ride

To get to the other side

Of this beautiful world

Sleep in a big beautiful bed

Beautiful clouds, inside my head

Sing a love song
