From Good Homes – Black Elk Speaks lyrics

tommy conroy, friend of
mine said
"I ain't a dog and I
ain't gonna take it!"
so he got himself a
van, a vw
loaded on his clothes and
his pots and pans
and he set out on the
highway
to California, up the
al-can into Alaska
spotted a piece of land
on the coast
said "i'm gonna make a livin
workin on a fishin boat"
six months later the
boat went bye
left him sittin on the
beach high and dry
he headed back out on
the highway
comin home, his pockets
all empty
and his tail between
his legs!
sherri moran, a friend
of mine said
"I ain't a dog and I
ain't gonna take it!"
So she headed out
west
out to Utah, got a loan to
open up a bakery
six months later the
loan went dry
bakery closed she said
"bye bye!"
headed back out on the
highway
comin home, pockets
all empty
and her tail between
her legs!
They're comin on
home
comin on home
what is it, tell me
why do we
get a notion down
inside
gonna head out
west
strike gold, get rich,
story all told
well the sun rises,
sun sets
tell me what to
expect
is it a dream gone
old?
A river run dry? i'm
watchin it leavin em
sayin bye,
bye...
And comin on home
comin on home
