Green Dog
Lyricist:Bill Henderson, Donald Burns, Kurt Ryle
Walkin' 'cross the desert, it ain't no fun To hide in the daytime in too much sun Lefty says, ‽We'll cross at night time Like my people always have to Keep moving, quit nagging, walked or runâ€
I asked Lefty, ‽Why we bring so much, chief?†‽Coyotes, buddy, just you wait and see Coyotes eat anything, buddy, long as he's free ‽Suppose they want little something extra, Lefty Might be you and might be meâ€
Well, the desert's dark And the desert's deep, stars everywhere Something like you've never seen Sittin' in your easy chair
Watch out, Lefty, something strange is comin' down Look out, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's a fire tincan Got those coyotes on the run
Out steps a green dog as green as he can be Or maybe she 'cause when they're wearing space suits You can't tell 'cause you can't see
In my world to the purple my circle And I to blame Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com A red cat is really something new I'm so far from home Can you tell me what should I do?
Do you think there is room for me In this strange land I'm sorry I scared your friends I write poetry Did you struck me? How about me?
In my world everyone is a fraud Shaking hands, saying, ‽How do you do?†Guess you've noticed we all look the same, it's such haste I'd rather take a chance here with you
‽They triedâ€, says Lefty ‽Let's see how fast this crate can fly Her va-va-voom says Lefty Watch the coyotes scatter And watch the towns go streaking by
Kingman, Barstool, San Bernardino Just won't do Go West, you green dog Hollywood, the place for you Green dog, green dog, green dog You're so red, so red
