[Verse]
Am D Am
She sits on the front porch of the old
D
house that stands scorched
Am D
under the sun stroke
Am D
Of the desert day that choked
F C G C G
Her old man who fell in the sun
Am D
With rattlesnakes and keepsakes
Am D
Old boxes of cornflakes
Am D
Gramophones and gemstones
Am D
And three unclaimed door frames
F C G C G
And bleached bones and rocks by the ton
[Chorus]
D
Goodbye old desert rat
C G
You half crazy wildcat
C G
You knew where it was at
A D Dsus D
What life's all about
C Em
You saver of catalogs
C G
King of the prairie dogs
C G
Success is survival
D F
And you toughed it out
C G
You toughed it out.
[Verse]
Am D
You old loudmouth rock hound
Am D
You kept the kids spellbound
Am D
Half crazy and sunbaked
Am D
You earned your own grubstake
F C G C G
By breaking your back all day long
Am D
With junk art and dump carts
Am D
And old Model-T parts
Am D
Frustrated, outdated
Am D
And uneducated
F C G C G
At 80 you still wrote good songs
