Are you the outdoor type?

SO Ruthie put together a CD for all of us kids who went backpacking (she's pretty much the best i know). well this CD has all kinds of songs that were sung and talked about while we were out on the trail. the song that i find most entertaining is called "I Lied About Being the Outdoor Type" by the Lemonheads. the lyrics just crack me up! they go as follows:

Always had a roof above me,
always paid the rent,
and i never set foot inside a tent.
I can't build a fire to save my life,
I lied about being the outdoor type.

I never slept out underneath the stars.
The closest that i came to that,
was one time my car
broke down for an hour
in the suburbs at night.
i lied about being the outdoor type.

too scared to let you know.
you knew what you were looking for.
i lied until i fit the bill.
god bless the great indoors!
I lied about being the outdoor type
i never owned a sleeping bag,
let alone a mountian bike.

i cant go away with you on a rockclimbing weekend,
what if somethings on TV and its never shown again?
its just as well i'm not invited, i'm afraid of heights.
i lied about being the outdoor type.
never learned to swim,
can't grow a beard or even fight
i lied about being the outdoor type


Now i am the outdoor type and i like boys that are the outdoor type... a lot. the outdoor type is the only way to be. Don't let this song be you... get out there and enjoy the great wide world.
