about

thank goodness for John Hammond

lyrics

If you ain't never rode no box car,
Get your jacket an' a postcard-
An' Bobby take the train to San Francisco

"Well- I met woody when I was 5,
in California, in some dive.
Man, I didn't know just
Who he Was,
But I still Knew Him!"

And the note said-
"headed west, be back soon"

You remind me of a girl
that looks like you.

You remind me
leavin's what I do

You remind me
leavin's what I do

Ohhh The Oily as The GasLight
Paid a dollar on a good night
Got Royal Indian Blood in my veins.

If I stay a-while an' leave,
Would you hold your head an' grieve?
Or would you celebrate my goin' as
an occasion?

And the note said-
"headed west, be back soon"

You remind me of a girl
that looks like you.

You remind me
leavin's what I do

You remind me
leavin's what I do

Down on Hammond's Folly
Song Jockey from accounting said
"you'll never make your way with inspiration."

well Hub-capped-diamond-starlet-halos
are still lookin' for their payloads and
cash bribes are still a
good form of flirtation.

And the note said-
"headed west, be back soon"

You remind me of a girl
that looks like you.

You remind me
leavin's what I do

You remind me
leavin's what I do

Canary in a Cole Mine!
Belly Full of Moonshine!
Still lookin' to you for signs of
Pain and aggravation..

Well my stories are half-true,
But they're true enough for you!
Read my book
when I get to my
Final Destination...

And the note said-
"headed west, be back soon"

You remind me of a girl
that looks like you.

You remind me
leavin's what I do

You remind me
leavin's what I do

Remind Me leavin's what I do...

An' if you never rode no boxcar,
Get your jacket,
and a post card,
and Bobby-
Take the Train....
