Drew a name from a hat
I didn't recognize it
Drew an image of myself
I didn't recognize it
Now I must come clean
I've been playing a game
But never in my life
Have I drawn any names
And like water I need you
For love and for health
But like water without you
I can't draw myself
Nowhere no way
Anywhere anyway
Took the fruit from the branch
Of an old farmer's tree
Took myself to a place
Where I could sit peacefully
This is just a white lie
I don't mean any harm
But never in my life
Have I been on a farm
Like pills in a bottle
I would wait on your shelf
But like pills in a bottle
I can't take myself
Nowhere no way
Anywhere anyway
Ran a mile in the snow
Without any shoes
Ran a man out of town
Just for singing the blues
Now don't you go telling
Everyone that you meet
But never in my life
Have I frozen my feet
Like a still in the woods
I could bring you to wealth
But like a still in the woods
I can't run myself
Nowhere no way
Anywhere anyway
