"It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)"

Listening to the rapids while composing my rap
I'm very tired and feel a little like crap
This morning I drank the water from the outdoor tap
I think it made me sick cuz all I want to do is nap

Not having a mom to take care of you can be a drag
Moms can teach you not to hit, not to lie, and not to brag
Wherever I roam, the locals are generally nice
I've been lucky to hear all their motherly advice:

Hide your backpack and rope in the tall grassy field
Don't jump when the ranger taps on your windshield

While you sleep in your car, leave your keys in the ignition
You can get away faster, it's not superstition

Soak your achy limbs in Squaw Creek cuz it's like ice
Only spend your money on black beans and brown rice

Stay away from that creep who gave you a wink
Run like the wind and don't bother to think

If you are having trouble pretending to be strong
You can stay at my place and I won't ask you what's wrong

When people take the time to save me from insanity
It fills me with hope for all of humanity

I guess it takes a village to support this Stray Cat
To all the compassionate guardians out there, I tip my hat!

PS
The Depot will only sell you beer in a glass
Go to Deschutes Brewery for a pitcher
And they treat you with class
