Drugs for too happy and drugs for too sad. Seems like there is a pill to take for whatever might be on your mind. Milligrams of mental white wash in a beer brown plastic container with a Fort Knox cap. Thankfully there are other ways...

                       Campfires Are My Way                          

Diplomas couches Kleenex and tears
Xanax Zoloft phobias and fears
Everyone's got worries they wanna’ wash away
But pills and diplomas aren't the only way

Golden flames shootin’ stars
Fire flies and dogs
Whippoorwill’s raincrows
Coyotes and bull frogs
Fresh air and friendship
Wash my worries away
Oak logs burnin’ save the day
Campfires are my way

Coors Light Cuervo Captain and Coke
Mortgage tuition two jobs almost broke
Everyone's got worries they wanna’ wash away
But beer and booze aren't the only way

Tall tales crickets
Full moons and guitars
Hoot owls katydids
S’mores and North Stars
Fresh air and friendship
Wash my worries away
Oak logs burnin’ save the day
Campfires are my way

Golden flames shootin’ stars
Fire flies and dogs
Whippoorwill’s Raincrows
Coyotes and bull frogs
Fresh air and friendship
Wash my worries away
Oak logs burnin’ save the day
Campfires are my way
