lyrics

We dream of raising children
Little knocks on our door late at night
They’d say, “Mommy my room is haunted.”
“If I sleep with you I’ll be real quiet.”
And you’d say’ “Hey kid, I’m trying to sleep here.”
“But you can stay if your father says alright.”
So we giggle as I get off you
Either way no shut eye tonight

We’ll drive them, we’ll get them to lessons
And we’ll learn how to sing us three tunes
And we’ll harmonize and croon for amusement
Spending Sundays as families should do
And with our eyes entirely open
We’ll raise children better than our parents knew to do
So take down those old high school books
We’ll find them names only old folks would choose

We’d be doing my family a big favor
If we give them two beautiful kids
But we’d fill them up with righteous ideas
Like my own mom and dad never did
Then you say, “Hey Will, I’m trying to sleep here.”
“Can your lofty topics wait until the dawn?”
“Yes these words will be patient.”
“Oh, but not the urge I feel coming on”

Willie Wisely Saint Paul, Minnesota

Equal parts Minnesotan music scene veteran and Laurel Canyon resident/devotee, Willie Wisely remains that rare bird mixing profound power pop with arena-sized showmanship, a troubadour on an all night rave up, a cold kombucha on a hot California day, a McCartney-ite taking a break from his Japanese import of “Ram” for a quick Canyon run listening to João Gilberto. ... more
