American Novocain

Im a boy scout.
An eagle as a matter of fact.
Im pretty solid with my knots.
Bowline
Timber hitch
All sorts of hitches really
Square
Monkey 
Granny
Fisherman's
Looped slip
Figure Eight
Stopper
Double stopper
Butterfly

It wasn't until recently 
that I learned my favorite knot
The setup was great
The air was like cider
The trees were all black 
Burning sage filled my lungs
I took my final drink of water
Put on one last song or two
Then I tied my new favorite knot
And tried out my new rope swing

If only I'd gotten the rope length right
If only I'd gotten the rope length right
Just two feet shorter
Maybe my feet would'nt have met the ground
Good thing I'm a boy scout though
Cause I won't mess up next time
