Rosie Oh Lyrics

As I walked across the bridge
With a backpack cross my shoulder blades
The Everglades below the wooden cracks

You had offered up a ride
So I might not get accosted by
The watery slide

But I said no I'd rather not
Said no
I'd rather not step in
Said no
I'd rather not
Step in

As I left my home I cried
And a substituted figure tried
To reconcile the things I'd left behind

You had opened up the doors
And made a place where I could sit inside
And fortify

But I said no I'd rather not
Said no
I'd rather not
Said no
I'd rather not step in

I'm on my own [x4]
Now no one's been invested in
How no one knows what's best for him

I'm on my own [x4]
When no one's left to light the load
Then someone goes to lift alone

I'd like to embrace it
I'd like to embrace it
I'd like to embrace it all
[x2]

Have I made this or is it
That I've been made?
