He was a quiet soul, he was a lazy dude | |
He was a thinking man | |
He had a trophy wife from when he ruled the roost | |
But that was back in ‘Nam | |
He used to play guitar in the local bar | |
Until his fingers bled | |
And now he plays alone on a driftwood porch | |
Where the cows are fed | |
And yes my trousers are grey | |
But my heart stays gold ‘til my dying day | |
I don’t respond to authority | |
But I’ve got a blues harp in the key of C | |
The modern man can cloud my life | |
Mock my car, repossess my wife | |
But he won’t get far and he won’t get me | |
Coz I’ve got a blues harp in the key of C | |
He returned from work once | |
Lethargic from effort but out on release | |
His wife was in bed with next door’s gas man | |
Who was tanned to the teeth | |
His dog had been snagged by a passing train | |
And now he’s ten miles East | |
When a freakish turn from mother earth | |
Turned the whole scene to grief | |
And yes my trousers are grey | |
But my heart stays gold ‘til my dying day | |
I don’t respond to authority | |
But I’ve got a blues harp in the key of C | |
The modern man can cloud my life | |
Mock my car, repossess my wife | |
But he won’t get far and he won’t get me | |
Coz I’ve got a blues harp in the key of C |
He was a quiet soul, he was a lazy dude | |
He was a thinking man | |
He had a trophy wife from when he ruled the roost | |
But that was back in ' Nam | |
He used to play guitar in the local bar | |
Until his fingers bled | |
And now he plays alone on a driftwood porch | |
Where the cows are fed | |
And yes my trousers are grey | |
But my heart stays gold ' til my dying day | |
I don' t respond to authority | |
But I' ve got a blues harp in the key of C | |
The modern man can cloud my life | |
Mock my car, repossess my wife | |
But he won' t get far and he won' t get me | |
Coz I' ve got a blues harp in the key of C | |
He returned from work once | |
Lethargic from effort but out on release | |
His wife was in bed with next door' s gas man | |
Who was tanned to the teeth | |
His dog had been snagged by a passing train | |
And now he' s ten miles East | |
When a freakish turn from mother earth | |
Turned the whole scene to grief | |
And yes my trousers are grey | |
But my heart stays gold ' til my dying day | |
I don' t respond to authority | |
But I' ve got a blues harp in the key of C | |
The modern man can cloud my life | |
Mock my car, repossess my wife | |
But he won' t get far and he won' t get me | |
