Peaceful Valley

I signed a lease on a place near the bus stop but then I haven’t left the place since
I got 3 TVs and a bunch of coffee pots, there’s just no reason to go out no more

I ain’t gonna get up this morning
And I’m never gonna throw anything away again
Time’ll come when I’m gonna need all of it
And I’m sure not getting out of bed today

If anybody stops by I’ll cut out all the lights
And hide in the can until they go away
I got 5 phones but none of em is hooked up
And I wouldn’t answer them if they were

I ain’t gonna get up this morning
And I’m never gonna throw anything away again
Time’ll come when I’m gonna need all of it
And I’m sure not getting out of bed today

I got a broken lamp with a broken shade
Got a broken mower with a rusty blade
Pizza boxes piled to the roof
Newspapers from 1982
Busted toasters I found in the trash
Picture frames with broken glass
Family photos of people I don’t know
Dried up plants that’ll never grow
I just can’t let it go

There’s a ‘72 Datsun where the guest bed was
I guess that means you ain’t spending the night
The landlord stops by but he seems real confused
I think he’s trying to throw me out

I ain’t gonna get up this morning
And I’m never gonna throw anything away again
Time’ll come when I’m gonna need all of it
And I’m sure not getting out of bed today

There’s a radio in every room, they’re all tuned to the news
I keep myself very well informed
The county’s coming by, to clean out all my stuff
And make me live with a roommate in Peaceful Valley
So I barricaded the door and covered up all the windows
And made a blanket fort behind the fridge

I ain’t gonna get up this morning
And I’m never gonna throw anything away again
Time’ll come when I’m gonna need all of it
And I’m sure not getting out of bed today
