Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
Let me remember things I love, Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite, Walkin' along the river road at night, Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight. I can hear the bullfrog callin' me. Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree. Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water. Shoefly, dragonfly, get back to your mother. Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River. Welllllll! Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh, With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers . Old Cody, Junior took me over, Said, "You're gonna find the world is smould'rin'. And if you get lost come on home to Green River." Welllllll! Come on home. |

Traffic in the city turns my head around.
No, no, no, no, no. Backed up on the freeway, backed up in the church, Ev'rywhere you look there's a frown, frown. CHORUS: Com, commotion, Git, git, git, gone. Com, commotion, Git, git, git, gone. People keep atalkin', they don't say a word. Jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw. Talk up in the White House, talk up to your door, So much goin' on I just can't hear. CHORUS Hurryin' to get there so you save some time. Run, run, run, run, run. Rushin' to the treadmill, rushin' to get home, Worry 'bout the time you save, save. CHORUS |

Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path. Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh, There's a shadow on my back. Saw the gypsy man, 'way down in San Berdoo. Said, I saw the gypsy man, 'way down in San Berdoo. Five dollars on the table, Ooh, Keep me 'way from my tomb. Oh! Oh! Said I got thirteen months of bad luck, Bound to be some pain. Don't you do no trav'lin', Fly in no machines. Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path. Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh, There's a shadow on my back. The man gave me a luck charm, Cost five dollars more, Said, "Put some on your pillow, and put some on your door." He said, "Take a long vacation, Ooh, For thirteen months or more." Oh, Lord! Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path. Tombstone Shadow, stretchin' across my path. Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh, There's a shadow on my back. Oh, oh, Lord! Oh, Lord! |

Wrote a song for everyone
Met myself a comin’ county welfare line. I was feelin’ strung out, Hung out on the line. Saw myself a goin’, down to war in June. All I want, All I want is to write myself a tune. CHORUS: Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone And I couldn’t even talk to you. Got myself arrested, Wound me up in jail. Richmond ‘bout to blow up, Communication failed. If you see the answer, now’s the time to say. All I want, All I want is to get you down to pray. Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone And I couldn’t even talk to you. Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone And I couldn’t even talk to you. Saw the people standin’ thousand years in chains. Somebody said it’s diff’rent now, look, it’s just the same. Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth. They could have saved a million people, How can I tell you? Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone And I couldn’t even talk to you. Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone And I couldn’t even talk to you. Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote A Song For Ev’ryone And I couldn’t even talk to you. |

Just about a year ago I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune Looking for a pot of gold Things got bad and things got worse I guess you will know the tune Oh, lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again Rode in on the greyhound I'll be walkin' out if I go I was just passin' through Must be seven months or more I ran out of time and money Looks like they took my friends Oh, lord, stuck in Lodi again Man from a magazine Said I was on my way Somwhere I lost connection Ran out of songs to play I came into town a one-night stand Looks like my plans fell through Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again If I only had a dollar for every song I've sung Every time I had to play while people sat there drunk You know I'd catch the next train Back to where I live Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again |

I went down to the station
Just to take a ride. I went down to the station Just to take a ride. Found myself on a flat-car Yesterday behind. Pullin' out from the platform, There was no brass band. I pulled out from the platform; Nobody raised a hand. And there were no tears of regret From my runaway train, Train, train, train, train. Got no sand in my pocket, You know, I ain't tied down. Ain't no sand in my pocket, Never do sit down. I'm just a cross-tie walker Where the freight trains run, Run, run, run, run. If you see me a-comin', Don't you waste my time. If you see me a-comin', Don't you waste my time. 'Cause there's more miles between us Than the Santa Fe Line. Run, run, run, run. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm... |
