David

[Verse 1]
Twenty some-odd years ago and early in the morn
A child named David Thomas Santiago Robinson was born
And his mother cried as she was holding him
For all this time I was hoping for a girl
But he's gonna be the life of everybody's party
And the center of the world
Twenty some-odd years go by and down at Fountain Lake
We were all smoking candy cigarettes and trying to catch a break
Somebody shouted, "Here comes David boy"
We all got up and had ourselves a real good time
But after a while, David had to sit back down and try to clear his troubled mind
"If I can cast away the giants in my head
I'd just sit back and cast a line"

[Chorus]
David, armed only with your sticks and bones
You can break more than just a person's bones
When you're taking that long walk alone

[Verse 2]
Davey had lady by the name of Baby Jone
She said, "let's start our lives together or let's start our lives alone"
And David sat back in the dirt and said
"I don't think I can make it through this one
Feel like a flower after two weeks with no raining
And a long day in the sun
Listen, Baby Joni, don't we make a lovely pair?
I love that flirty purple sundress
And your dirty yellow hair
Sometimes it braids itself together
And it ties me at the feet so I can't leave
Sometimes you fill my chest with so many good things
I haven't got the space to breath"
And she said

[Chorus]
David, armed only with your sticks and bones
You can break more than just a person's bones
When you're taking that long walk alone
And David, Goliath never fought this hard
I've never seen a giant [?]
I've never seen one half as tall as you are, are

[Verse 3]
The morning after Joni left, sweet David lay in bed
And for the first time in a long time
Had no giants in his head
He said, "I'm taller than I thought I was
More than Mama said that I would be
Guess I must be a giant also
For these giants all too fit inside of me"
