Georgie on the freeways (LP版) - Tom Paxton[00:00:00]

The summer sun was beating down [00:00:07]

Oh pity would it show[00:00:09]

George Chester's office air conditioner[00:00:13]

Would no longer go [00:00:16]

As pools of sweat rolled off his brow[00:00:19]

He had one reverie [00:00:23]

He saw himself with his wife and kids[00:00:26]

In his cottage by the sea [00:00:29]

He paid for his car at the parking lot[00:00:33]

Which gave the poor man chills [00:00:36]

The attendant laughed and walked away[00:00:39]

Thumbing a roll of bills [00:00:43]

He started his engine with trembling hands[00:00:46]

At the end of a long hard day [00:00:50]

And placing himself in the hands of God[00:00:53]

He drove to the long freeway [00:00:57]

The traffic stretched far as the eye can see[00:01:07]

As bumper to bumper they sped [00:01:10]

They drove at supernatural speeds[00:01:13]

Which filled his heart with dread [00:01:17]

Sometimes they stopped for an hour or more[00:01:20]

And a thousand horns would blow [00:01:24]

George Chester's eyes rolled back in his head[00:01:27]

And his poor brain started to go [00:01:30]

He came at last to the turnpike gate[00:01:34]

And he laid his money down [00:01:37]

He took the fist turn to the right[00:01:41]

And he followed the curve around[00:01:44]

He took each bend of the clover leaf [00:01:47]

He followed every sign [00:01:51]

And when he came back to the same toll gate[00:01:54]

He gave them another dime [00:01:58]

His hands were tight on the steering wheel [00:02:08]

His lips and throat were dry [00:02:11]

He swore by all that he held dear[00:02:15]

He'd make it through or die [00:02:18]

He took the first turn to the right[00:02:22]

The clover leaf to go through [00:02:25]

He was quite sure of his success[00:02:28]

Till the toll gate rose in view [00:02:32]

And now they say when the moon is full[00:02:35]

And the clover leaf is still [00:02:39]

The sound of an engine can be heard[00:02:42]

Laboring up the hill [00:02:46]

A dime drops in the toll machine[00:02:49]

In the cool of a summer's night [00:02:53]

And eternally that poor car[00:02:56]

Takes the first turn to the right[00:03:00]
