Day #33: (If I Could Write) A Campfire Song

(If I Could Write) A Campfire Song

They’re coming round to my town
I hope that I don’t let ‘em down
I’m the place where the vagrants stay
They need a place to stay

We’re closing down the old roads
And rolling home like thunder-toads
I’m the Bible’s man of ease
They need a place for me
They need a place for me
You and me

Chorus:
If I could write a campfire song
Then I’d fly around the world just one more time
And I’d show them all the rhythm and the rhyme
If I should write a campfire song
Then I’d have my brothers sing along with me
And I’d sail the old Dawn Treader across the sea,
While that campfire’s blazing away

I hope that words have their fun
The music comes from everyone
All the travelers will learn my song
They’re gonna sing along

Now Appalachia’s my town
I’m going to find that mountain sound,
And when I see a campfire’s glow
I’ll know I’m headed home
I’ll know I’m headed home
Home again

Chorus

I’m coming ‘round to my town
I hope that I don’t settle down
But I have heard what the prophets say
They think I’m here to stay.
They think I’m here to stay.
In Camelot

Chorus

Coda:
And I’ll sail the old Dawn Treader across the sea
And I’ll sail the old Dawn Treader across the sea
[Repeat and fade]
