neil young - the last trip to tulsa (live baton rouge 1973) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well, i used to drive a cab, you know
i heard a siren scream
i pulled over to the corner and i fell into a dream
there were two men eating pennies
and three young girls who cried
“the west coast is falling, i see rocks in the sky”
the preacher took his bible and he laid it on the stool
he said “with the congregation running
why should i play the fool?”

[verse 2]
well, i used to be a folk singer
keeping managers alive
when you saw me on a corner
and told me i was jive
so i unlocked your mind, you know
to see what i could see
if you guarantee the postage
i’ll mail you back the key
well i woke up in the morning
with an arrow through my nose
there was an indian in the corner
trying on my clothes

[verse 3]
well, i used to be asleep you know
with blankets on my bed
i stayed there for a while till they discovered i was dead
the coroner was friendly, and i liked him quite a lot
if i hadn’t have been a woman
i suppose i’d never have been caught
they gave me back my house and car
and nothing more was said
i caught a train to baton rouge
it was a deadhead
[guitar solo]

[verse 4]
i was chopping down a palm tree
when a friend dropped by to ask
if i would feel less lonely
if he helped me swing the axe
i said, “no, it’s not a case of being lonely we have here
i’ve been working on this palm tree
for eighty seven years”
he said, “go get lost!” and walked toward his cadillac
i chopped down the palm tree
and it landed on his back
that’s too bad
