Old Man Markley Beyond The Moon lyrics

Trying to find the words to write this song
It might seem funny and a little wrong
I swear that I'm sincere
But ridicule and laughter might be all you hear
I'll claim it anyway
Can't keep it locked inside another day
Believe me when I say

Don't wanna lose my mind like Gary Busey did
Once upon a time he was the same as you and me
But if I lose my mind like Gary Busey did
Promise me you'll be around to keep me company

Don't want my words to be misunderstood
Twisted 'round until they're just no good
But still I'll muddle through
Even though the tune might not appeal to you
Can't see no other way
It's just a silly song, well then okay
I'll sing it anyway

Don't wanna lose my mind like Gary Busey did

Once upon a time he was the same as you and me
But if I lose my mind like Gary Busey did
Promise me you'll be around to keep me company

So while he's sailing out beyond the moon
I'd like to take this time to end my tune
And find a place to land
Nothing left to say now that I've tipped my hand
It's probably for the best
Here's hoping you can finish up the rest
Just glad it's off my chest

I don't wanna lose my mind like Gary Busey did
Once upon a time he was the same as you and me
But if I lose my mind like Gary Busey did
Promise me you'll be around to keep me company
Promise me you'll be around to keep me company
Promise me you'll be around to keep me company
