Viewing Lyrics for Last Trip To Tulsa:
| | | Artist: | Neil Young |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Last Trip To Tulsa | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 3 | | | | Lyrics: | Well, I used to drive a cab,
you know
I heard a siren scream
Pulled over to the
corner
And I fell into a dream
There were
two men eating pennies
And three young
girls who cried
The West coast is falling,
I see rocks in the sky.
The preacher took
his bible
And laid it on the stool.
He said: with
the congregation running,
Why
should I play the fool?
Well, I used to be a woman,
you know
I took you for a
ride,
I let you fly my airplane
It looked good for your pride.
'Cause you're
the
kind of man you know
Who likes what he says.
I wonder what's it's like
To be so far
over my head.
Well, the lady made the wedding
And she brought along the ring.
She got
down on her knees
And said: Let's
get on with this thing.
Well, I used to be a
folk singer
Keeping managers alive,
When you saw me on a corner
And told me I was
jive.
So I unlocked your mind, you know
To see what I could see.
If you guarantee the
postage,
I'll mail you back the key.
Well I woke up in the morning
With an arrow
through my nose
There was an Indian in the corner
Tryin' on my clothes.
Well, I
used to be asleep
you know
With blankets on my bed.
I stayed there for a while
'Til they discovered I was dead.
The coroner was friendly
And I liked him quite a
lot.
If I hadn't 've been a woman
I guess I'd never have been caught.
They gave me
back my house and car
And nothing more was said.
Well, I was driving
down the
freeway
When my car ran out of gas.
Pulled over to the station
But I was afraid to
ask.
The servicemen were yellow
And the gasoline was green.
Although I knew I
couldn't
I thought that I was gonna scream.
That was on my last trip to Tulsa
Just
before the snow.
If you ever need a ride there,
Be sure to let me know.
I was
chopping down a palm tree
When a friend dropped by to ask
If I would feel less lonely
If he helped me swing the axe.
I said: No, it's
not a case of being lonely
We have
here,
I've been working on this palm tree
For eighty seven years
I said: No,
it's
not a case of being lonely
We have here,
I've been working on this palm
tree
For eighty seven years
He said: Go get lost!
And walked towards his
Cadillac.
I chopped down the palm tree
And it landed on his back. | | | |
