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