The Bogeyman’s Boogie

Don’t think twice bogeyman
Didn’t know you played guitar
Chords for poundin out your pain man
Voice I never heard before
You weren’t nuthin to me
A monster in the dark
Hidin’ on a street somewhere
Didn’t know you could tell a joke

Don’t think twice bogeyman
Play that old guitar
Don’t think twice bogeyman
That’s just what it’s for
Don’t think twice, you’re alright

Didn’t know you worried ‘bout it all
Ain’t no use in wonderin’ now
Hum your way through that line man
Just keep on boogyin’ down
You ain’t never gonna die man
You’ll just keep ramblin’ on
From one bogeyman to another
It’s all there is ‘til we’re gone

Don’t think twice bogeyman
Play that old guitar
Don’t think twice bogeyman
That’s just what it’s for
Don’t think twice, we’re alright

Maybe I should thank you
Put these words to a tune
Tap my foot to the mystery
And the crowd at the bogeyman saloon
Don’t know what I’d say to you
Didn’t know I’d write this song
I’ll be ramblin’ on now
‘Cuz I just ain’t slowin’ down

Don’t think twice bogeyman
Play that old guitar
Don’t think twice bogeyman
That’s just what it’s for
Don’t think twice, I’m alright
