Stand In One Place Too Long

Written by Charlie Peacock

I picked a bad time, baby, for good thinkin'

For rhymin' and rhythm and sinking down

I got triggered from standin' in a low ceiling shop

Listening to an old man talk

Singing me some ivory blue song

I was glazing over, legs-a-crossing

My head a banging gong

I could never no, never no, never no, never stand in one place too long

I could never no, never no, never no, never stand in one place too long

I heard a wise man speak one time, make a fuss about sin and such

While failing to mention the long-winded

With a story that rattles on and on far too long

Then gets the punchline wrong

Like a sermon all talk no walk

I was glazing over, legs-a-crossing

My head a banging gong

I could never no, never no, never no, never stand in one place too long

I could never no, never no, never no, never stand in one place too long
