Autumn seems awful lonely here whenever we think of you  Last night the sky was purple and we wanted to share the view  The leaves on the trees are turning and the woods are all ablaze  The smell of the timber burning in the fireplace  Sunday we woke up early and we drove out to Tyson's farms  Gorging ourselves on all the cider and donuts we could fit under both  our arms  Picking out penny candy in the country store  Until we collapsed on the porch with our bellies sore  So what's it like to be on your own  A roamin' vagabond  Away from home in search of some forgotten door  Is it half as good as it sounds  And tell me have you really found  The peace and calm we've all been lookin' for  Freckles still misses you, she always sleeps on the floor in your room  Ruth says she smells but you know it's just her very unique perfume  The tree in the back bore apples but they're green and full of worms  I guess we'll sit tight and wait until the cider turns  Everyone sends their love, they still don't really believe you're gone  Everyone's jealous of this crazy oddysey that you're on  Hoping this finds you happy and healthy and sane  Pray that your strength will ease you through the growing pains  So what's it like to be on your own  A roamin' vagabond  Away from home in search of some forgotten door  Is it half as good as it sounds  And tell me have you really found  The peace and calm we've all been lookin' for  So what's it like to be on your own  A roamin' vagabond  Away from home in search of some forgotten door  Is it half as good as it sounds  And tell me have you really found  The peace and calm we've all been lookin' for
