"Come On Funny Feelin'" lyrics - RODNEY CROWELL

I don't want to wind up bitter lost inside a silent rage
Or become like Rilke's panther out here locked up in a cage
The old man I've been talkin' to has cotton in his ears
But then who am I to blame him I've had mine stopped up for years
Singing come on funny feelin'

L.A. hits my windshield like some Armageddon sprawl
Plantin' palm trees in the desert makes no sense to me at all
In a science fiction world where walkin' wounded leave their mark
I just took my place among them tryin' to find a place to park
Singing come on funny feelin'

The funny feeling comes when you're in love with everyone
And all your races have been run or laid to rest
So get this freakin' anvil off my chest
Come on funny feelin'

The funny feelin' knows the way the whole thing comes and goes
It make's you stop and smell the roses if you're smart
So get this freakin' anvil off my heart
Come on funny feelin'

So it's not like I'm not blessed with something special in my world
Just around the next dark corner there's a blue eyed dancin' girl
Who love me like tomorrow comes with everything I need
And I just have to pay attention where this road I'm on might lead
I'm thinkin' come on funny feelin'

The funny feeling knows the truth the eye for eye & tooth for tooth
It's something way back in your youth you should not second guess
The funny feeling never lies it's there to open up your eyes
And make you stop and realize you're blessed
So get this frickin' anvil off my chest
Come on funny feelin'
Come on funny feelin'
Come on funny feelin'
Come on funny feelin'
