Oh, Pappy left a chair like he's still sittin' there   Once I almost saw him make his move   Brave Indian who never changes his mood   In a painting on the wall right there         Oh, how long 'til the morning wakes   Oh, how long 'til the medicine takes         Oh, Sally buffalo in the apartment just below   Just a bein' without a care   Oh, children from my brood they come and bring me food   Maybe open up a window for air         Oh, just now I smell the cornbread bake   Oh, now, now, now I feel the medicine take         Just like home   Where the stray dogs go through it all   Still right here, still just here,   Brave little friend         Well, we got a party goin' on many spirits strong   Ain't preacher just a happy to meet ya   Half a bottle 'neath the bed keep our spirits fed   My hat's off to you, to you and you         And now our brave friends, too, dancing circles through the room   And a broom and a radio and a twistin out a dos-e-do   Brand new day, the whole world's goin'   Whole room's goin' so         Just now, don't hesitate (hesitate)   Oh, taste the morning break (morning break)   Sweet, sweet, young honeycomb (honeycomb)   On, now, now, now just like home (just like home)         Oh, just like, just like home   Where the stray dogs go   Oh, oh, rest my bones   Like a fresh skipped stone to it all         Still right here, still just here,   Still just here, brave, brave friend
