Wind on the water

And the bird that crows for day

Black in the backyard hay

Bought me a ticket

Gonna ride the rail someday

Soon as I make my pay

Soon as I make my pay

June in the country

And the boy’s off to play

Clean on a dirty day

Dogs diggin’ backyard bones

Behind the green and grey

Finding their doggy way

Instrumental line

Solo

Fall in the city

Sweeping’ out the alleyways

Deep in the jungle days

Gin the backroom

Whiskey pouring straightaway

Got nothing straight to say

Got nothing straight to say

Bridge:

I got a movie to show you today

I’ll get a ticket and sit where you say

You walk down to the station and pay

And be a compass to show me the way back home

Solo

High on the reefer

The old sheriff sleeps away

Down ‘till the break of day

Sun in the evening sky

Shining cold against the bay

Fire for the Milky Way

Fire for the Milky Way

Bridge
