Come and stay with me as long as you like
I live outside of town where the straight highway curves
Three years I lived nextdoor to the airport
So nothing you can say to me can get on my nerves
Stay 'till you feel your legs underneath you again
I've got room in my house for you
Got a Kenmore single room window unit air conditioner
It cools down the place in the full heat of day
A family of possums have made a home underneath the front steps
They are majestic in their own beady-eyed homely way
Stay 'till you can breathe like normal people do
I've got room in my house for you
They tore down the airport in 1981
This is where I came when I ran out of places to run
Come, come
Come and stay with me out here away from things
Come and stay with me where the sky's real clear
I live way out where no one believes anybody could live
Sky's purple from six in the evening 'till midnight out here
Stay 'till the world goes down in flames
I've got room, room in my house for you
