Comfortable

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

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

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

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

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
