No I don't want to go
I was watching for her
As they are loading me up
When they would wake me at dawn
Yeah, I could feel my body healing
In a hospital gown
For a warm and loving home
From the window of my hospital room
And my folks are on their way
Yeah, I could feel my body healing
She was as free as I'd ever found
In a hospital gown
Fa-la-la is running around
To see me home
But I don't want to go
Like some people watch birds
Deep down in my bones
All the way up
I was trapped and tired
Waiting on my sad soul medicine
Of my hospital bed
I was trapped and tired
To leave this cold institution
For our long ride home
I would crank up the head
All over the grounds of the hospital
Only a fool wouldn't be happy
The embodiment of life force
Then I'd gaze out at the lawn
Into the cab of my daddy's truck
And a nurse would come and see me
Everyday
The embodiment of life force
Yes, I don't want to go
She was as free as I'd ever found
But I feel like I'm drying up
