  • She might be wearing
    A green Chamise
    And a hat that she bought
    'Cause it matches her jeans

    And the water she drinks
    Oh it comes from the stream
    By the house she might win
    In that hospital lottery

    And I might be stumbling
    And cursing them all
    When she picks me up
    From the place that we both call

    Disaster relief
    For the rent must be paid
    By the first of the month
    Or in my case fifteenth

    This is good
    As far as I can tell
    It's still heavy as hell
    When it's good

    And I do like the road
    But I'd be better at home
    I will pine for the oak streets
    And pine for the cedars and you

    Been around I suppose
    I have chatted and chewed
    I have loved my guitar
    To the nice cafe blues

    And when I come home
    I am coming home
    To this street
    And these avenues

    This is good
    But as far as I can tell
    It's still heavy as hell
    When it's good

    And I do like the road
    But I'd be better at home
    I will pine for the oak streets
    Pine for the cedars and you Writer/s: Dan Mangan
