Here's to the Weary

There goes Woody in a Model A Ford he's a Dust Bowl Refugee
From the Hills of Oklahoma to the California sea
In the labor camps along the Road the cars and the trucks pull in
He slaves all day for a place to stay Before he rolls away again

Here's to the weary and the restless souls
Chasin' some crazy dream
Fightin'off sleep with the radio
And the beat of the tambourine
Tryin's to find a verse that's never been sung
To hearts that need relief
The nighttime hears the wheels rush by
While lovers are fast asleep

There's Bob Wills and a ten piece band Rollin in an ol' Flex Bus
He played last night in Tulsa Town Choking on the Texas Dust
Pack it up boys he says to them in a high pitched yodeling yell
When the Honky Tonk lights smear into the night the highway casts it's spell

Here comes Muddy cross the Mississippi in a cloud of Chicago Blues
Little Walter harpin' like a saxophone, Man he paid some dues
Pinetop pass that bottle around it's a lonesome world out there
But tomorrow night it'll be all right, Hand me down my Rockin' Chair

Here's to the weary and the restless souls
Chasin' some crazy dream
Fightin'off sleep with the radio
And the beat of the tambourine
Tryin's to find a verse that's never been sung
To hearts that need relief
The nighttime hears the wheels rush by
While lovers are fast asleep

Here's to Buddy and to Chuck and Carl and the Killer Who danced to a brand new beat
Who paved the way for others to play the sounds that moved their feet
How many times have you been so lonely nothin' could shake your soul
When out of the Blue come a feelin' over you all you wanna do is Rock and Roll

Here's to the weary and the restless souls
Chasin' some crazy dream
Fightin'off sleep with the radio
And the beat of the tambourine
Tryin's to find a verse that's never been sung
To hearts that need relief
The nighttime hears the wheels rush by
While lovers are fast asleep

Livin off the dream of the promised land while lovers are fast asleep
