James McMurtry - Comfortable lyrics

You never know when You leave the house You might come home By a different route It could take longer than you planned It could get completely out of hand If you let it slide if you let it slip You could wonder how it came to this In the neighborhood on a quiet night Out beside the road in the flashing lights Now I don't need to know the guy Next door I haven't seen him for a month or more And This is how I like to live He don't ask what I won't give (chorus) And I'm comfortable Can't you see I'm comfortable So just let me be It's the best you'll do on an average day I'm comfortable I'm gonna stay that way Deny the flesh to save the soul Deny the fact you're too damned old Deny the flesh to save the flesh For god's sake save whatever's left But I will not stray from the well worn path I will not stray so don't you even ask And if you see me coming Don't put your thumb in the air Cause I'll drive on by And leave you standing there (chorus) Pick that guitar up off the stand And play it like a full grown man Play it till the walls come down Twist the knobs till it shakes the ground You never know when You leave the house You might come home By a different route By a different road than The one you took Don't give me that injured look (chorus)
