“Grizzly Gopher”

(Reed Rosson)

Fuzzy-pawed with our hours flyin’ by
Hey, can you sit down with me
for a little part of your day
We’ve got some reminiscin’ to do

Don’t act like you don’t know me
Hey, don’t be a stranger, pal
Do you remember way back when?
I want to know how you feel right now

Don’t be a grizzly gopher
You never played by the rules before
There’s a white light shinin’ in your corner
but you’re not as friendly anymore

I always knew you were a hairy hedgehog
but don’t be a grizzly gopher
It’s okay to give me the cold shoulder
but I thought you were my brother

It’s fucking freezing outside, man
I’m hopin’ you’ll welcome me into your home
There’s a patch of fur I’ve just heard about
Rabbit’s foot keychain lucky charm

I’ve always known you was a hairy hedgehog
but don’t be a grizzly gopher
No, don’t be a
grizzly gopher

You’re one grouchy son of a gun
but you oughta not be so cocky
You traded in your thin cell phone
for a candy walkie-talkie

I’d rather you go rewind
to bein’ a bum poacher
Old stubborn friend of mine
just don’t be a grizzly gopher
~
“Honeybear”

Honeybear
will you open
your heart to this stranger?
Will you hope against
or head toward
the danger?
Honeybear can I hold you
and rub your tummy?
Honeybear
where do you hide your honey?

I like the contrast and similarity between the two. Both inviting one to reveal, but in differetn manners.
