Just for the Day and Maybe Part of the Night

Come out there with me
we’ll drink on the porch

with good friends and dogs.
They’ve got all kinds of acreage

out in Callahan.
Just come out there with me

we’ll drink on the porch
and then wander around

the rest of the day.
They’ve got kinds of all kinds
of acreage

out there in Callahan.
I swear all we’ll do

is drink on the porch
with good friends and dogs

and then later maybe laugh and talk
as we stare at the stars

lying on the roof of the barn.
