Desert Rat (Album Version) - Michael Murphey[00:00:00]
Written by:M. Murphey[00:00:02]
She sits on the front porch[00:00:36]
The old house that stands scorched[00:00:40]
Under the sun stroke of a desert day that chocked[00:00:44]
Her old man who fell in the sun[00:00:51]
With rattle snakes and keep sakes[00:00:58]
Old boxes of Corn Flakes[00:01:02]
Grammar phones and gem stones[00:01:05]
And three unclaimed door frames[00:01:09]
And bleached bones and rocks by the ton[00:01:12]
Good bye ol' desert rat[00:01:20]
Ya half crazy wild cat[00:01:23]
You knew where it was at[00:01:27]
What life's all about[00:01:30]
Ya saver of catalogs king of the prairie dogs[00:01:36]
Success is survival and you toughed it out[00:01:43]
You toughed it out[00:01:54]
The old loud mouth rock hound[00:02:25]
He kept the kids spellbound[00:02:29]
Half crazy and sun baked[00:02:33]
Ya eared your own grubstake[00:02:36]
By breakin' your back all day long[00:02:39]
With junk art and dunk carts[00:02:47]
Old Model T parts frustrated outdated and uneducated[00:02:51]
At eighty you still wrote good songs[00:03:01]
So good bye ol' desert rat[00:03:08]
Ya half crazy wild cat[00:03:12]
You knew where it was at[00:03:16]
What life's all about[00:03:19]
All ya savers of Whole Earth catalogs[00:03:24]
Kings of the prairie dogs[00:03:28]
Success is survival[00:03:32]
We'll all tough it out[00:03:35]
Yes we'll all tough it out[00:03:42]
