Rich Food and Easy Living - Charlie Parr

Too much rich food has made you soft

All the easy living has made you weak

The time for waiting has gone by

That’s the reason I’ve got to leave

She was 20 when she met him

40 years old when she had to go

He hadn’t noticed her in years

He didn’t notice when she hit the road

She drove out to Big Timber

In the car she had bought for him

And she sold it when she got there

And never thought about it again

Did you get what you wanted

When you dared so close to the edge

And found that the end of the world

Was just the beginning of the next one instead?

She left Montana the next summer

Looking to find another way

Making a path through the Badlands

That’ll lead her to the light of day

Too much rich food has made you soft

All the easy living has made you weak

The time for waiting has gone by

That’s the reason I’ve got to leave
