Country home company's coming today
Oh no, it's the weekend, I think I'll go away
Usually it's quiet, but it's always alive
And when it rains, it never rains unless we're all inside
Beat the reaper, it's a long way home
Could I ever think leaving you (leaving you)
Alone-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Spend a day with MDA in a field by the pond
Sippin' tea, I'm glad it's me, this is where I belong
Sunset from the bathroom was different every day
We knew we'd someday be up there, it didn't really matter which way
Beat the reaper, it's a long way home
Could I ever think leaving you (leaving you)
Alone-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Smokin' or drinkin' or playin' guitars
We'd sing the night away, writing songs to the stars
And gradually all the coloured lights would fly from our heads
We'd been waitin' for the morning light, so we could go to bed
Beat the reaper, it's a long way home
Could I ever think leaving you (leaving you)
Alone-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Balthazar is in the yard, and he's diggin' it too
I got a bone from the butcher shop, and he's learned how to chew
Jerry and Abbey, not hearing a word
They think that groups should be seen and not heard
Beat the reaper, it's a long way home
Could I ever think leaving you (leaving you)
Alone-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da
