Desert Rat (Album Version) - Michael Murphey

Written by:M. Murphey

She sits on the front porch

The old house that stands scorched

Under the sun stroke of a desert day that chocked

Her old man who fell in the sun

With rattle snakes and keep sakes

Old boxes of Corn Flakes

Grammar phones and gem stones

And three unclaimed door frames

And bleached bones and rocks by the ton

Good bye ol' desert rat

Ya half crazy wild cat

You knew where it was at

What life's all about

Ya saver of catalogs king of the prairie dogs

Success is survival and you toughed it out

You toughed it out

The old loud mouth rock hound

He kept the kids spellbound

Half crazy and sun baked

Ya eared your own grubstake

By breakin' your back all day long

With junk art and dunk carts

Old Model T parts frustrated outdated and uneducated

At eighty you still wrote good songs

So good bye ol' desert rat

Ya half crazy wild cat

You knew where it was at

What life's all about

All ya savers of Whole Earth catalogs

Kings of the prairie dogs

Success is survival

We'll all tough it out

Yes we'll all tough it out
