Count Me Down lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Somebody count me down
Somebody count me down

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Somebody count me down
Somebody count me down
