| 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 |
