I used to have a rabbit, come running up on here
Wake up in the morning, scratch between his ears
Brew us up some coffee, take dobro love outside
He'd run away until I played his favorite kind of slide
When every song's a circus, imagine how you'd hear
Days turn into weeks turn into months turn into years
This just ain't my journey, not my kind of ride
Now I'm coming home alone, my rabbit gone and died
Daisy in the meadow
Won't you come on home to me
I've loved you since the day we met
Beside the inland sea
Never sent you a letter
Never sent a box
Only sent you love songs
The only song I've got
I used to have a mortgage, went shopping all the time
Then they turned the lights out, choked on my last dime
Couldn't afford no coffee, couldn't afford my ride,
Got busted by the repo man each time i went outside
Couldn't pay my tickets, couldn't make my bail
Tax man come, run rabbit, run, no passing go, no sale
When luck just ain't your measure, you take it up in trade
I'm all runout like romeo on Uuliet's poison blade
Daisy in the meadow
Won't you come on home to me
I've loved you since the day we met
Beside the inland sea
Never sent you a letter
Never sent a box
Only sent you love songs
The only song I've got
I wish I had my rabbit, I wish I had my girl
Play for her and sing my song for satin, lace, and curls
But all I've got's this dobro, some mojo and some wine
Waiting for the time I get to finally call her mine
Thinking that she loves me, wished i had a job
Maybe do some laundry, quit living like a slob
Don't think I need botox, wrinkles are just fine
Not so good with rabbits, where she draws the line
Daisy in the meadow
Won't you come on home to me
I've loved you since the day we met
Beside the inland sea
Never sent you a letter
Never sent a box
Only sent you love songs
The only song I've got
