Baby Ruth In Atlanta

I asked you for a ride 
I was lonely 
And hoping to see you before I left town 
You said, "I'm sorry, I'd like to, 
if only I had had the time ...
Maybe next time around." 

And I walked for miles 
And carried my bags 
On streets with no sidewalks 
In search of a ride 
It was me and a Baby Ruth 
A chewy chunk of chocolate truth 
And here from the bus, 
I would like to say thanks 
Thank you. 

I had imagined a breakfast of coffee and muffins
Maybe some cinnamon toast 
But if I believed I would gain your attendance 
I could have provided the Holy Host 

And I walked for miles 
In search of a ride 
On streets with no sidewalks 
And carried my bags 
It was me and a Baby Ruth 
A chewy chunk of chocolate truth 
And here from the bus, 
I'd just like to say thanks 
Thank you. 
Thanks a lot. 
Thank you. 
Not. 

Two seats behind me, reclining 
An angel is peering at me now from under a book 
She catches me staring and smiles to the window 
Again, I'm in love and with only a look 
And it must be it's true, I am free 
And last night I burned, you know who spoke to me
Say "Welcome the solitude, it's your family tree"
And you would have been only a heaven 

At noon I will fly to my city, my prison 
And you will be forever gone from my life 
And soon I'll deny any lingering vision 
Of me in some catalogue and you as my wife 

'Cause I walked for miles 
I in search of a ride 
On streets with no sidewalks 
And steel muddy banks
It was me and a Baby Ruth 
A chewy chunk of chocolate truth 
And here from the bus, 
I'd just like to say thanks 
Thank you. 
Thank you. 
Thanks a lot. 
Thank you. 

I was walking down the road 
Carrying in a heavy load 
Feeling and believing that I might have been a prince through it 
But no ... 

... Had all I can use of your silly teaching 
Had all I can use of your silly preaching 
And here's the news I'll make it on my wiles 

All I really need is some shoes my size 
Some shoes my size 
Some shoes my size 
Some shoes my size 

It must be nice to be boy genius 
In your paradise you got the only penis 
I know it's true I can't hypotheticalise 

All I really need is some shoes my size 
Some shoes my size 
Some shoes my size, nine, five 
shoes my size 

I don't do much in the way of praying 
And I'm out of touch with religious sayings 
I think your cross is just a little too wide 

All I really need is some shoes my size 
Some shoes my size 
Some shoes my size 
Some shoes my size 
Some shoes my size, nine, five,
double wide, you provide ...
