Drinkin' and Thinkin' Paroles

To my understanding of it
As I lay back silent and amused
Yet so confused and so awake
With Bobby D on as we boozed

The furthest things from my head
Popped right there in front my eyes
Then moved around inside my brain
And came back out and showed themselves
And I sat back my thoughts in vain

Something so confusing, something as simple as can be
Think of what happens as you grow
And learn to see the different views
That once ago, you'd never know

And like a parent looking down
On their baby in its bed
And like that baby looking back
It's hard to know what one is thinking Are rarely set and scarcely get
To all the ways that those views could break

So with this said, I'm thinking
That the best thing you could do
Is to listen to one's point of view
And don't deny a heartfelt cry
Just because it's not coming from you
