If I Only Had a Brain Jackson Browne

See, I can't scare anybody
They come from miles around
To laugh in my face and eat in my field

Said a scarecrow swinging on a pole
To some blackbirds sittin' on a fence
Oh, the lord gave me a soul
But, forgot to give me common sense

Said the blackbirds, well, well, well
What the thunder would you do with common sense?
Said the scarecrow,would be pleasin'
Just to reason out the reason
Of the wishes and the whyness and the whence

If I had an once of common sense...
(if he had an ounce of common sense)

(well, what would you do scarecrow? )

I would while away the hours
Conferin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain
