Henry Songtext
von Jerry Joseph

Took the Greyhound bus out of Missoula.
Sure don′t smell a thing like Malibu.
Travel with the strangers and you know they're gonna fool ya,
it′s all with the company you choose.

Trading baseball cards down in the gallery.
Every morning he can watch his T-cells drop.
Since they're shootin' dime bags on the hour after hour
anything to make the hurtin′ stop.

Well Henry wakes each morning with conviction.
And Henry tries to hold his head up high.
Really like to make somebody happy
and be remembered fondly when he dies.
When he dies.

Henry calls his brother in La Jolla
got another baby on the way.
I′d like to get some surfin' in Baja, California
always put it off another day.


Henry thinks alot about his children.
he knows inside he makes a lousey dad.
He′d like to teach them something...
something that's worth learning
maybe then he wouldn′t feel so bad.

Henry wakes each morning with conviction.
And Henry tries to hold his head up high.
Really like to make somebody happy
and be remembered fondly when he dies.
When he dies.

Henry Well I believe you when you say
yeah Henry It will be okay.

Henry loves a women up in Portland.
Loved her on and off for fifteen years.
Can tell she's not happy,
she′s leavin' in the morning.
Losing her is the one thing left for him.

Henry wakes each morning with conviction.
And Henry tries to hold his head up high.
Really like to make somebody happy
and be remembered fondly when he dies.
When he dies.


Henry I believe you when you say
Henry It will be okay.
Henry I believe you when you say
Henry It will be okay.
Henry I believe you when you say
Henry It will be okay.
