Twin Rocks Oregon - Shawn Mullins

I met him on the cliffs

Of twin rocks Oregon

He was sittin' on his bedroll

Lookin' just like Richard Brautigan

I thought he was an old man

He wasn't but thirty seven

He said he'd been ridin' trains

For fifteen years

Drawin' portraits

To keep his belly full of the beer

And looked to me like he'd died

And missed the plane to Heaven

But he was a nice old guy

For a younger man

He had a bottle of Mad Dog

He held in his hand

Waved around a lot

To make his point

And I listened as he told his tales

Wine and women and county jails

We finished off that bottle

And smoked a half a joint

He said I came here to watch the sun

Disappear into the ocean

Is this been years

Since I smelled this salty sea

He turned his bottle up and down

I saw him lost and I saw him found

He said I don't know what I've been

Lookin' for maybe me

Well I told him I too had been

Travelin' around

Livin' out of my van from town to town

Playin' for tips and whatever records

I could move

I said I don't reckon I'll be makin it big

You know it's hard to get rich

Off a tout of coffee house gigs

He said Yeah but ain't it a blessin'

To do what you wanna do

I told him Yeah I pulled off here

To watch the sun disappear into the ocean

'Cause it's been years

Since I smelled this salty sea

Me turned his bottle up and down

He saw me lost and he saw me found

He said I don't know what I've

Been lookin' for maybe me

I said It's get kinda late

Better be headin' down the interstate

Can I give you a lift

To San Francisco bay

He said Nope I think I'm just

Going to sit here and rest

Maybe wait on the

Tokyo Montana express

I might just lay here

And dream my life away

I'm gonna sit right here

I'm gonna watch the sun

Disappear into the ocean

'Cause it's been years it's been years

I'm gonna turn my bottle up and down

You can see me lost

And you can see me found

I met him on the cliffs

Of twin rocks Oregon

He was sitting on his bedroll looking

Just like Richard Brautigan

Just like him
