Time To Stay Home

This is a time to be cautious; this is a time to be smart

This is a time to consider the options, be careful with games of the heart

A time for young fellas to carry umbrellas

And considering the climate, you really might find it

The right time to stay at home

The booze gets your liver, but when you consider

The condition of water, a man really ought to

Abstain for the night and just stay home

It's dangerous out on the freeway, its dangerous out in the bars

Everybody's mad at somebody, it?s dangerous to drink and drive cars

Whiskeys?s bad for your liver, but stop and consider

The condition of water, then maybe you ought to

Find a good book and stay home

AIDS is to real to be foolish, it?s changed all the rules we play by

You can't take chances in other peoples' pants it's

Too risky to just casually try

Now I only smile at our social lifestyle

It all leaves me believing I'd find more relief in

Some Earl Klugh and the refuge of home

So now I turn off the porch light, next I'll unplug the phones

I'll get on my robe and my jammies, a nice fire sure warms the bones

I might write a letter, but what I like better

Is taking my guitar down and playing an old song

That makes me feel glad I stayed home
