Van dyke parks Orange crate art was a place to start Orange crate art was a world apart Home for two with view of sonoma Where there's aroma and heart Memories of her orange crate art Orange crate table and a rockin' chair Barnyard gate waiting some repair Trust in fate and sweet inspiration You could go bust to replace Just what is here by the case Hear the lonesome locomotion roar Hobo hop on if you dare And it rolls where grapes of wrath are stored Stops on a bracero's prayer On the dawn of a vintage cruise Calms the wine of this rendezvous Room for two in view of sonoma Back when ramona had heart Memories of her orange crate art Room for two in view of sonoma Back when ramona had heart Memories of her orange crate art

He is not your run Of the mill garden variety Alabama country faire. Left on Silver Lake He keeps a small apartment top An Oriental food store there. He returned from Alabama To see what he could see. Off the record he is hungry Though he works hard in his Alabama country fair. I should think he'd fade away The way that Bohemians often bare The frigid air. He returned from Alabama To see what he could see. Constant commentary by the wayside. Nowadays them country boys Don't cotton much to one two three four. Rest your team. Work out in the All Golden! You will know why hayseeds Go back to the country. Constant calm might still Our stately union. Nowadays a Yankee dread Not take his time to wend to sea. Forget to bear your arms In the All Golden. You will know why hayseeds Go back to the country. Might as well not 'low For one more go round. That's all folks. Them hayseeds go back To the country. Ja git it? Alright.

That's the tape that we made, But I'm sad to say it never made the grade. That was me, third guitar; I wonder where the others are. I sold the guitar today... I never did play much anyway. Vine Street. We used to live there on Vine Street. She made perfume in the back of the room And me and my group, we'd sit out on the stoop And we'd play for her the songs she liked best To have us play, on Vine Street. Vine Street, the crack of the backbeat on Vinestreet. Swingin' along on the wings of a song And I'll lie in, secure, self-righteous, and sure Why we've things to say that the people Would pay to hear us play, on Vine Street.

By Palm Desert To market to buy. Tenderfoot up to date Palms of the real estate. By Palm Desert Springs often run dry. I came west unto Hollywood, Never-never land. Juxtaposed to B.B.D. and O. Beyond San Fernando On hillside manors On the banks of toxicity Those below and those above the same. Dreams are still born In Hollywood I don't understand. Just suppose the youngster knows He's had a good deal of fortune And up through the babble On the fair banks complicity, Buy your leave or stay beyond the game. Palm Desert Not fade away. Palm Desert I wish I could stay. Palm Desert Sages abound. So head your head To the ground round. Meanwhile in the wild west Of Hollywood age is losing hold. Inasmuch as you are touched To have withstood By the very old search For the truth within The bounds of toxicity. Left unsung So I have strung the frame.
