Count Me Down letra

Once upon a time I'd be
Making babies, planting seeds
In an empty country full of dreams

A little sapling of my family tree
I would've been good
I would've been good

My old man's been hanging on
Waiting for another John
I suggest that time is gone

He suggests I don't give up
I could've been good
Said I could've been good

Somebody count me down
Somebody count me down

Well, there ain't no meal that's big enough
That won't leave you hungry tomorrow
I keep tryin' to fill up

Won't someone tell me my last one?
And I'll be good
And I'll be good

Somebody count me down
Somebody count me down
