Out on the road for the first time. A virgin running to the sun.Thinkin' 'bout my folks in a world so far from mine,
Worrying about the eldest son.
And they're asking me, 'How will you survive boy?'
And i say that I'll get by.
And they say to me, 'Don't forget to write boy.'
And I say, 'When i have the time you know I'll try.'
'cause I'm a loner. I'm a loner. I'm a loner.
Won't you please leave me alone.
As time went by I finally had a chance to visit. I almost
wished i hadn't come
When we sat down to eat the questions started coming.
Interrogation had begun.
They started asking me, 'Where'd you get that tan boy?'
And I say, 'Out on the beaches of life.'
And they say to me, 'Why don't you get hitched boy?'
And I say, ' The last thing I need is a wife.'
And they say to me, 'You better go to school boy.'
And I say, 'When it's my time I'll know.'
And they're asking me, 'What if you get drafted?'
And I say, 'If that's the case, then I won't go!'
'cause I'm a loner. I'm a loner. I'm a loner.
Won't you please leave me alone.
And they say to me, 'You don't need three dogs boy.'
And I say we all need a friend.
And they're asking me, 'Don't they give you hard times?'
And I say, ' Yeah, but they'll be ther in the end.'
And they're asking me, 'Who you look like Jesus?'
And i say, 'It ain't because I try.'
But when they're asking me, ' How much do you party?'
I say, 'I just like to get high, and high, and high, and higher!'
'cause I'm a loner. I'm a loner.
And i'm a stoner. Won't you please leave me alone?
