William Butler Yeats in jeans

Got up to play guitar and sing

In some joint in Mission Beach last night
Am
At the door sat Tom Waits

In a pork pie hat and silver skates

Jugglin' three collection plates, Jesus Christ

Townes Van Zandt standin' at the bar

Skinnin' a Hollywood movie star

Can't remember where he parked his car

Or to whom he lost the keys

Full of angst and hillbilly haiku
G
What's a poor Ft. Worth boy to do
E7
Show em' how you really feel

Aint no money in poetry
G Am
That's what sets the poet free

I've had all the freedom I can stand

Cold dog soup and rainbow pie

Fool my belly till the day I die
G Am
Cold dog soup and rainbow pie

Ginsberg and Kearouac
G F
Shootin' dice playin' Ramblin' Jack's guitar
E7
With the cowboy paintin' pickguard on it
Am
And they sat in the back and they drank for free

And rhymed orange with Rosalie
F E7
Now there's a pride of lions to draw to
Repeat Chorus
