[Verso 1]
G D7
well, you walked that valley's grassy floor and climbed that hilly ridge
G
you stood there naked stung with fear and tippy-toed on the edge

well, you swung on a vine, you crawled in the dirt and made the river your best friend

you ate ev'rything from a skunk to perch and filled me up with Zen

well, you went to acapella and you sang Acapulco, danced on a coin

G D7
well, you turned my pockets inside out and my inside upside down
G
took fourteen reds and shaved your head and let a semi run you down
D7
you filed your teeth and chromed your feet, shot a fifteen under par
G
prayed thirteen days in eighteen ways then gurued in a bar
Em7 A7
well you slipped me a Mickey and you read James Dickey, drank up all my wine
C D
you did all that then drowned a bat and bought a Wurlitzer on time

you ate barbecued stork with a spoon and a fork in a second-hand fun'ral plot,
