Your Own Cone
Sweet Liberation: Embrace Life's Flavors in 'Your Own Cone'
Lyrics
The ice cream vendor is willing to surrender
The ice cream vendor is ready to give up
His heart was never made of stone
He's not unfeeling or insensitive
He scoops a triple fudge ripple for the welfare cripple
He serves a rich ice cream to someone in need
As he's driving through the twilight zone
Traversing a strange or surreal situation
He's got a piece of candy for a girl named Andie
He has a treat for a girl named Andie
And a wife and three kids waiting at home
Despite his work, he has a family at home
When his truck starts to jingle like old Kris Kringle
When his truck's bells ring like Christmas
Grab your loose change and throw him a bone
Give him some change to support
Cause you can have it in your own cone
You can enjoy life's pleasures
You don't have to be alone
You don't have to face life's challenges alone
You can have it in your own cone
You have the power to enjoy life's offerings
Ice cream like you've never known
Experiencing joy like never before
Try to remember these words
Remember these words for tough times
When it seems like life is for the birds
When life seems dismal
And you're staring at a silent telephone
Feeling abandoned or disconnected
No matter what you're dreaming of
No matter your dreams
It's raining sugar from above
Good things are happening
And you can have it in your own cone
You have the ability to enjoy life's sweetness
I've been down to the mountain and up through the gutter
Experienced hardship but seeking solace
Crying through the midnight sun
Expressing emotional pain
Frostbite in August and a closet full of sawdust
Feeling frozen in a bad situation
Feeling like I'm the only one
Feeling isolated in difficulty
At the cocktail dinner who would never be a winner
At an event feeling inadequate
Wanting out so bad I couldn't even run
Desire to escape
Until I looked at the band and the ice cream man
Noticed the joy in unexpected places
Was using Popsicle sticks on the drums
Even unexpected things bring happiness
Cause you can have it in your own cone
You can find happiness
You don't have to be alone
You're not alone
You can have it in your own cone
You have the power to enjoy life's offerings
Ice cream like you've never known
Experiencing joy like never before
Try to remember these words
Remember these words for tough times
When it seems like life is for the birds
When life seems dismal
And you're staring at a silent telephone
Feeling abandoned or disconnected
No matter what you're dreaming of
No matter your dreams
It's raining sugar from above
Good things are happening
And you can have it in your own cone
You have the ability to enjoy life's sweetness
