I Don't Want to Be a Pumpkin Man

[Verse] In a small town where the cornfields sway, I'm just a man who lost his way. Got a white panel van, rusted and worn, Filled it with pumpkins, now I'm forlorn. [Verse 2] I drive these back roads, dust is my friend, Selling these gourds till the day's end. Folks round here, they say I'm strange, But it's the pumpkins that keep me sane. [Chorus] I don't want to be a Pumpkin Man, Living my life by a harvest plan. Dreams of love and simpler things, But here I am, with a pumpkin that clings. [Verse 3] Each night I find my cold, lonely bed, A pumpkin beside where you should've been instead. Orange and hollow, it don’t feel right, Still, it's my comfort through the starless night. [Verse 4] Neighbors whisper, "He's lost his mind," But they don't know the dreams I left behind. Just a man who's stuck in place, With pumpkin seeds that can't replace. [Chorus] I don't want to be a Pumpkin Man, Living my life by a harvest plan. Dreams of love and simpler things, But here I am, with a pumpkin that clings.
