4 X 10 (Live 2003) Lyrics by Loudon Wainwright III

So Damn Happy

0

It's not strange, no mystery
You and I are history
I put up my protective wall
It's 4 feet thick and 10 feet tall

10 feet tall and 4 feet thick
Granite, concrete, steel and brick
Protection for, you understand
The little boy, the inner man

Boys kissed the girls
Then make them cry
That's a man's job, that is why
But when you cry, you're just a clone
Of every woman I have known

And every Harry, Dick and Tom
Gets all of this shit from his mom
Who was unhappy, mom was sad
Because of a wall that dad had

And once it's up it won't come down
And mom's a queen and dad's a clown
It's not strange, no mystery
That you and I are history

It's 4 feet thick and 10 feet tall
