Testo Meet Me Where I'm At

Standin’ on the corner of Frenchman
Dutchman double dutchin’ on the concrete
The smack of his bubblegum poppin’
The soft pillowy landin’ of his boat-sized feet
Tied pulled loose, shakin’ his caboose
Suit pants rolled up to his thighs
Usually, I’d pass on through
But somethin’ made me wanna ask why And he said

Ain’t got a care in the world
Don’t gotta change nothin’
Ain’t got a care in the world
Just gotta say something’
Be childlike and free, be kind and just be
Won’t you meet me where I’m at?

Conductor of the train click-clackin’ it’s heels
As it skips through town
He’s a runaway smokestack, billowin’ wisecracks
Engine runnin’ down into the ground
He was punchin’ the ticket of a witty little misfit
Pigtailed girl about three He was a man on a mission, barely even listenin’
But her voice hung in the air, a honeyed apostrophe
And she said

Ain’t got a care in the world
Don’t gotta change nothin’
Ain’t got a care in the world
Just gotta say something’
Be childlike and free, be kind and just be
Won’t you meet me where I’m at?

Don’t matter where the message comes from
Whether they’re wise and wrickled or naïve and young
All that matters is we’re receptive to the lesson
That life will keep us guessin’
Learn from our failures and our successes
And live like you

Ain’t got a care in the world
Don’t gotta change nothin’
Ain’t got a care in the world
Just gotta say something’
Be childlike and free, be kind and just be

Ain’t got a care in the world
Don’t gotta change nothin’
Ain’t got a care in the world
Just gotta say something’
Be childlike and free, be kind and just be
Won’t you meet me where I’m at?
