Fast asleep
There's a bump in the night
The old tar roof is now lettin' in the moonlight
The damn cooler fell right of the side
In a terminal slide
Swamp cooler in the night

Money's tight
And repairs ain't free
And though you're well into your seventies
You take a job deliverin' groceries
Heaven help your knees
Swamp cooler treachery

The stroke slowed you down but you're walking again now
Struggling with the sodas and the puppy chow
Other people's burdens now yours somehow
But you get by

The money's crap, thank God for the tips
Fix the roof and call it quits
So many better things to do than this
With your time

And now your face
Is all over the feeds
Donations rollin' in like tumbleweeds
And though you thank them for their generosity
You say give it to those in greater need
Swamp cooler dignity

The hole in the roof's just a memory
Everything's back where it's supposed to be
The only time you pick up groceries
They're your own
