Loner

Out on the road for the first time. A virgin running to the sun.
Thinkin' 'bout my folks in a world so far from mine,
Worrying about their eldest son.
And they're asking me,""How will you survive boy?""
And I say that I'll get by.
And they say to me,""Don't forget to write boy.""
And I say,""When I have the time you know I'll try.""
'Cause I'm a loner. I'm a loner. I'm a loner.
Won't you please leave me alone?
As time went by I finally had a chance to visit. I almost
Wished I hadn't come.
When we sat down to eat the questions started coming.
Interrogation had begun.
They started asking me,""Where'd you get that tan boy?""
And I say,""Out on the beaches of life.""
And they say to me,""Why don't you get hitched boy?""
And I say,"" The last thing I need is a wife.""
And they say to me,""You better go to school boy.""
And I say,""When it's my time I'll know.""
And they're asking me,""What if you get drafted?""
And I say,""If that's the case, then I won't go!""
'Cause I'm a loner. I'm a loner. I'm a loner.
Won't you please leave me alone?
And they say to me,""You don't need three dogs boy.""
And I say that we all need a friend.
And they're asking me,""Don't they give you hard times?""
And I say,"" Yeah, but they'll be there in the end.""
And they're asking me,""Why you look like Jesus?""
And I say,""It ain't because I try.""
But when they're asking me,"" How much do you party?""
I say,""I just like to get high, and high, and high, and higher!""
'Cause I'm a loner. I'm a loner.
And I'm a stoner. Won't you please leave me alone?
