Hope For Grey Trousers

	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
