"Campin' Tent" lyrics - THE OKEE DOKEE BROTHERS

I got myself in trouble
When I bought myself a home
'Cuz I thought myself a millionaire
But then I couldn't pay off the loan
So I moved down to the river
Where fishin' hooks pay the rent
And Now I'm livin' off of rice and beans
And sleepin' in my campin' tent

My campin' tent
It's my transportable affordable apartment
Where I open the roof zipper and can watch the big dipper
Risin' as a breeze blows through the window vent
It's time well spent livin' in my campin' tent

I always thought a mansion
Would be a nice abode
But the fine print that I read it said
You can't take it on the road
So Now whenever I want to leave
I go wherever I can live in peace
'Cause whoever wants to live in a campin' tent
Never has to sign a lease

It might have a rather low ceiling
But it keeps me humble 'cause I'm always kneeling
And if it rains - I can trust my roof
'Cause this wigwam is water proof

I used to have toys and trinkets
And knickknacks laying around
And while those things are nice to have
They end up weighing you down
So I left all my belongings
'Cause they made me discontent
And the only thing I brought with me
Was this little old campin' tent

My campin' tent It's my transportable affordable apartment
It's foldable, holdable, easily moldable
Toat-able, boat-able, probably even float-able
Dependable, mendable, the poles are pretty bendable
Enjoyable, deployable, but doesn't have a toilet bowl
Big old campin' Tent
