Chorus:
I want to know about the real things important to me
Like beauty and love and family
I carry the words upon my knee
And execute the letter of it faithfully
Then i think about getting out of my head
I pick up a book and I get on back to bed
Now we old boys, we had our fun
Attempted the setting of the rising sun
But hey, boys, it's time to go on homes
I want to know about the real things important to me
Like beauty and love and family
I carry the words upon my knee
And execute the letter of it faithfully
Enter the heart of a man about to go blind
His wife has gone out, but the baby's i the back of his mind
She enters the roo,, the blinds are drawn
The baby's too young to know what's going on
But close your little eyes 'cause there's a bad scene happening here
I want to know about the real things important to me
Like beauty and love and family
I carry the words upon my knee
And execute the letter of it faithfully
(solo)
Now what's a man to do when his whole world comes undone
I want to know about the real things important to me
Like beauty and love and family
I carry the words upon my knee
And execute the letter of it faithfully
