There's something happening here... what it is ain't exactly clear...
Hello, Muddah, hello Fada,
Here I am at Camp Grenada!
Here I am at Camp Grenada!
She's got a smile that it seems to me, reminds me of childhood memories...
Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Bye bye happiness
They told him, "Don't you ever come around here..." "Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear..."
Is she really going out with him?
That's the spoken opening line. First sung verse:
I met him at the candy store
He turned around and smiled at me
(You get the picture?)

You're alone above the street somewhere
Wondering how you'll ever count out there
You can walk, you can talk, you can fight
But inside you've got something to write

Wondering how you'll ever count out there
You can walk, you can talk, you can fight
But inside you've got something to write
In your hand you hold your only friend
Never spend your guitar or your pen
actually that's the only thing you promised me!
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale... a tale of a fateful trip...
We're gonna break out the hats and hooters

There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland... and the bankers are taking my home and my land from me...
In the corner of my eye I saw you in Rudy's, you were very high
You were high
It was a cryin' disgrace
They saw your face
You were high
It was a cryin' disgrace
They saw your face
