Rodney Crowell - Come On Funny Feelin' lyrics

I don't want to wind up bitter lost inside a silent rage

Or become like Rilke's panther out here locked up in a cage

The old man

I've been talkin' to has cotton in his ears

But then who am I to blame him I've had mine stopped up for years

Singing come on funny feeling

L.A. out my windshield's one big Armageddon sprawl

Planting palm trees in the desert makes no sense to me at all

In a science fiction world where walkin' wounded leave their mark

I just took my place among them trying to find a place to park

Singing come on funny feeling

The funny feeling comes when you're in love with everyone

and all your races have been run or laid to rest

Get this freakin' anvil off my chest

Come on funny feeling

The funny feeling knows the way the whole thing comes and goes

Make's you stop and smell the roses if your smart

Get this freakin' anvil off my heart

It's not like I'm not blessed with something special in my world

Just around the next dark corner there's a blue eyed dancing girl

Who loves me like tomorrow comes with everything I need

I just have to pay attention where this road I'm on might lead

I'm singing come on funny feeling

The funny feeling knows the truth the eye for eye & tooth for tooth

It's something way back in your youth you should not second guess

The funny feeling never lies it's there to open up your eyes

make you stop and realize you're blessed

So get this friggin anvil off my chest

Come on funny feeling
