Piggyback

I read about a guy

when he was 23 years old

stood there three feet tall

man that's pretty small

but then he grew

to over 7 foot 4

where he found he

just couldn't walk no more

and mama had to go away

but daddy says i'll see her again

one day soon

when we go to heaven

and daddy had a hook

where his hand used to be

he said that hand weren't no good

for me anyway

all i want's a piggyback ride

to get to the other side

of this big beautiful world,

sleep on a big beautiful bed

with beautiful coulds

inside my head

for 30 hours

and 15 minutes

jimmy kissed his girl

in front of the whole wide world

on national tv

that's a long time

not to drink or eat

or take a pee

all i wants a piggyback ride

to get to the other side

of this beautiful workd

sleep in a big beautiful bed

with beautiful clouds

inside my head
