I should have moved to Florida
I should have grabbed my Lexus
Loaded it with all my stuff
And hauled my ACT to Texas
I think back to a week ago
When hearts were filled with buoyance
That Leftists, just like government
Would be a mere annoyance
When we could get on with our lives
Our working and our wooing
Without the need to daily fear
What Washington was doing
No radical agenda
Would widely be embraced
No rights would be assaulted
And no monuments defaced
That’s the world I wanted
That’s the best environment
Where I could get on with my golf
My writing and retirement
But now I have to say my prayers
At least for two years more
That God will guide our country
Past a stumble into war
I can deal with prices
I’m used to buying less
But weakness in the White House
Can make this world a mess
It’s easy to accept a loss
If danger was detected
But harder to absorb it
When it’s not what you expected
For some folks that I know of
Losing’s in their plans
That’s how folks in Cleveland cope
Unlike most Yankee fans
I know that pendulums swing back
I know that trends are tidal
But I didn’t think my country men
Were quite this suicidal
