Bob Schneider
"Piggyback"


I read about a guy
when he was 23 years old
stood three feet fall
man, that's pretty small

but then he grew
to over 7 foot 4
where he found he
just couldn't walk no more

and Mama had to go away
but Daddy says I'll see her again
one day soon
when we go to heaven

and Daddy had a hook
where his hand used to be
he said that hand weren't no good
to me anyway

all I want's a piggyback ride
to get to the otherside
of this big beautiful world
sleep in a big beautiful bed
with beautiful clouds
inside my head

for 30 hours
and 15 minutes
Jimmy kissed his girl
in front of the whole world

on national tv
that's a lot time
not to drink or eat
or take a pee

all I want's a piggyback ride
to get to the otherside
of this big beautiful world
sleep in a big beautiful bed
with beautiful clouds
inside my head
