Silly Little Girl - Lyrics - Harry Chapin

Harry Forster Chapin was an American singer-songwriter best known for his folk rock songs including "Taxi," "W*O*L*D," "Sniper", "Flowers Are Red," and the No. 1 hit "Cat's in the Cradle." Chapin was also a dedicated humanitarian who fought to end world hunger; he was a key participant in the creation of the Presidential Commission on World Hunger in 1977. In 1987, Chapin was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for his humanitarian work.

I was packed up in my knapsack my guitar case slung up over my back about to hit that dream road once again saw the vision in my mirror about how the springtime was getting nearer so ill be back, babe, but I really don't know when see the rainbow in the meadow the sunlight chasing the shadows such a thing is a day for leaving this is one don't let the old dog come follow put a candle in the window to light one light when my wandering days are done she said stay home, you're getting too old for this she said we're both alone I need someone besides a dream kiss you go along and try to save the world when you come home you won't find your women so get yourself some silly little girl just play that music to walking to boy, you need some talking to it's just a movie with you, with a rapidly aging star it's not a comedy, it's a tragedy a quick one to before you knew they'd have you before you got too far she said stay home, you're getting too old for this she said we're both alone I need someone besides a dream kiss you go along and try to save the world when you come home you won't find your women so get yourself some silly little girl
