Lincoln Duncan is my name and here's my song

Here's my song My father was a fisherman My mama was a fisherman's friend And I was born in the boredom and the chowder So when I reached my prime I left my home in the Maritimes Headed down the turnpike for New England Sweet New England |

| Holes in my confidence Holes in the knees of my jeans I was left without a penny in my pocket Ooh-wee, I was about as destituted as a kid could be And I wish I wore a ring so I could hock it I'd like to hock it A young girl in a parking lot was preaching to a crowd Singing sacred songs and reading from the bible Well, I told her I was lost And she told me all about the Pentecost And I seen that girl as the road to my survival |

| Just later on the very same night She crept into my tent with a flash-light And my long years of innocence were ended Well, she took me to the woods Saying, "Here comes somethin' and it feels so good" And just like a dog I was befriended I was befriended Oh, oh, what a night! Oh, what a garden of delight! Even now that sweet memory lingers I was playing my guitar Lying underneath the stars Just thanking the Lord for my fingers For my fingers |

A man walks down the street he says why am I soft in the middle now? Why am I soft in the middle? The rest of my life is so hard I need a photo opportunity, I want a shot at redemption Don't want to end up a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard Bone digger, bone digger, dogs in the moonlight Far away my well lit door Mr Beer belly, Beer belly, get these mutts away from me You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore

What if I die here? Who'll be my role model now that my role-model is Gone, gone? He ducked back down the alley With some roly-poly little bat faced girl All along, along, there were incidents and accidents There were hints and allegations If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty, and Betty when you call me You can call me Al Call me Al

A man walks down the street, it's a street in a strange world Maybe it's the third world, maybe it's his first time around He doesn't speak the language, he holds no currency He is a foreign man, he is surrounded by The sound, the sound, cattle in the marketplace Scatterlings and orphanages He looks around, around, he sees angels in the architecture Spinning in infinity, he says Amen and Hallelujah! If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty, and Betty when you call me You can call me Al
