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Old Model T parts frustrated outdated and uneducated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
