Out of the freeway and into a room At the Redwood Motel I drank myself to sleep and didn’t wake up til noon With a head heavy as a bell
They say If A Frog Had Wings He Wouldn’t Bump His Ass A’Hoppin’ But I don’t even know where to go You paint with words he writes in Images And I just like to go with the flow She was sadder than the Salton Sea I said what we have baby never gets old So Lo & Behold I drove her down to Cherry Valley And then I went down on my knee She took my hand and said sincerely I’m truly sorry baby Her hair was black as black can be Her pin-sized waist a sight to see She said I love you but I cannot think In terms of eternity You can take it or leave it I was born like this
I can never do what I’m told Lo & Behold Lo & Behold One day I’ll drag my ragged self up to Ragged Point And staring at the Pacific coast I’ll remember the night when you and I were young You were 25 almost We walked we kissed and we smoked some tea The new world was nothing but ours Holding hands into the sea At all ungodly hours You were beautiful then and you’re sure beautiful now With a heart of the purest gold Lo & Behold Lo & Behold
