Back On My Tracks

from I May Rail and I May Whine by Dane Terry

/

lyrics

I'm not a guy who breaks the law
Or violates the city codes but
Out behind my garage
Stuffed dead in a sack
Are monkeys as big as my back
I gotta get back, back on my tracks

I keep my eyes on the road and when I don't
I just ride along the guard rail
Sparkin' like a shootin' star
Till someone takes me home
By their window in a jar

They say the snake will stalk the sparrow
Until the apples fill the barrow
And for years there's been this hand-painted sign
On the main road that says
Save this town

Ginger pop and pork beans all over the lawn
And the whole damn barbecue is lookin down at their ice
What the hell do I care, I only see ‘em once a year

And by the time that I get home
There’ll be a few new holes in the moon

I call my mom from the phone downtown
I say Mom can you see the sky
She says honey are you alone?
I say only 'cause I try
And i gotta get back, back on my tracks
Lord i gotta get back, back on my tracks
