Green Dog - Ry Cooder

作词：Ry Cooder

作曲：Ry Cooder

Walkin' cross the desert it ain't no fun

Too hot in the daytime too much sun

Lefty says we'll cross at nighttime

Like my people always have done

Keep moving quit nagging

Walk don't run

I ask Lefty Why'd we bring

so much cheese

Coyotes Buddy just

you wait and see

Coyotes eat anything Buddy

long as it's free

Suppose they want a little

something extra Lefty

Might be you and might be me

Well the desert's dark and the

desert's deep stars everywhere

Something like you never see

sittin' in your easy chair

Watch out Lefty something

strange is comin' down

Look out It's a bird it's a plane

it's a flyin' tin can

Got those coyotes on the run

Out steps a green dog

as green as he can be

Or maybe she 'cause when

they're wearin' space suits

You can't tell 'cause you can't see

In my world toads are purple

mice are blue and I declare

A red cat is really something new

I'm so far from home can

you tell me what should I do

Do you think there is room

for me in this strange land

I'm sorry I scared your friends

I write poetry teach astronomy

how about me

In my world everyone is a friend

Shaking hands saying

how do you do

Guess you'll notice we all

look the same it's so tame

I'd rather take a chance

here with you

Let's ride says Lefty let's see

how fast this crate can fly

Va Va-va-voom says Lefty

watch the coyotes scatter

And watch the towns go streaking by

Kingman Barstow San

Bernardino just won't do

Go west you green dog

Hollywood's the place for you

Green dog green dog green dog

you're so rare so rare
