Daniel Boone from Dice Cup by Raymond Little

Daniel Boone

(Nana Nana Na Na Naaa Naaaaa)

I could say there’s no backbone anymore.
And I could say that there is no easy way out.
Insecurities shining bright like diamonds.
You’re a rich young man, you should buy yourself.

You tell me we’re in trouble, the whole world at large,
so tell me why you’re dressing like a movie star.
There's no closets in this house, secrets lying on the floor,
it’s everybody’s business, these are everybody’s chores.
Money’s never heard of an aristocrat,
so don’t you forget that.
don’t you forget,
don’t you forget that.

Well he could float right to the moon.
He wants to sail across the sea.
He used to move like Daniel Boone,
oh, so free.
Oh, so free, yeah.

Well I remember not a word that you said when we were standing in line that day.
Well I was dancing, singing up in the front and you were far away.
Say what was the time, I think a quarter-past nine,
I took off and then you followed my tracks.
Don’t you know that wasn’t me, I wish it was, I wish that I could come back.

(Saxophone Lead)

You tell me we’re in trouble, the whole world at large.
In the middle of a city lies a cowboy bar.
I see just why they threw you off that mountain top,
they thought it was gonna be a longer drop.
It’s written in your will I will inherit your home,
then Danny boy can roam.
Danny boy,
Danny boy can roam.

Well he could float right to the moon.
He wants to sail across the sea.
He used to move like Daniel Boone,
oh, so free.
Oh, so free.
Float right to the moon.
Sail across the sea.
He used to move like Daniel Boone,
oh, so free.
Oh, so free.
