A Song For John

John Sebastian must have seen the Future John Kerry when he wrote this.

Did you ever have to make up your mind?
Pick up on one and leave the other behind.
It's not often easy and not often kind.
Did you ever have to make up your mind?

Did you ever have to finally decide?
Say yes to one and let the other one ride.
There's so many changes and tears you must hide.
Did you ever have to finally decide?

Sometimes there's one with big blue eyes, cute as a bunny.
With hair down to here, and plenty of money.
And just when you think she's that one in the world.
You heart gets stolen by some mousey little girl.
And then you know you'd better make up your mind...

Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her.
And then you get distracted by her older sister.
When in walks her father and takes you a line.
And says, "You better go home, son, and make up your mind"
And then you bet you'd better finally decide...
