Rambling Through The Subterranean Lifestyle(Tribute to Bob Dylan)
Well the old trees color the sky
With the moon mindless on the breeze
Old men argue on the side of the road
While ships go by lost in the sea
Mountains shine as the earth is free
Rememberin' past memories
And as I walked down the side of the road
It sparked up in inside of me
She was just the neighbor girl all covered in a dress
and I thought "these are foolish memories"
and stuck my thumb out for the best
old cars inside the stars, we are all hitchhiking for the rest
I was about to call it quits, when a man pulled up in a top hat fully dressed
he said" son do you need a ride, you look like you're lost."
I said "only for 14 years sir, the rest has been tossed"
So i climbed into his nice car and headed down the road
He said "My names Jon and this is my pet toad"
Well I found this man to be odd but he was, nice enough
He looked to me and "Son you look like you had it rough"
Well this man was sincere and I said "just drop me here"
I couldn't talk no more
Birds singing with the bees
The flow of the trees and mindless matadors
My shoes were ripped and my jeans weren't clean
And people stared with no less of a care, through eyeless tambourines
As I walked into the saloon on a steep to the bar and said"Barkeep"
"I need your strongest gin"
Well he gave me a strange look, poured me a glass
Reflections colored me lavender, looking through the grass
I drank it down fast with memories of the past
My mind was a on a whim
Then a girl with a neat little curl said "Drinkin' like that's a sin"
I looked and she was the neighbor girl
I was lost in the world, she clearly didn't recognize me
So I said "Life is rough girl,hold on if you can"
I finished my drink walked out the door
Sunshine flying through, air cool as a fan
Lost iron shackles, I was just a man
So I went forward, never to look back
Friendly fireflies, clothing in a sack
That was the last time I seen her, our railroads
Were alligned for a different track
God help me, I see so much in this world, it's hard to be not vain
When the sun goes down and the moon howls harsh
It cries out through the pain
One man, sing through the smoke, old timey-lookin folks
Whiskey in a jar, Mindless ramblin' from afar
As this young man, travels into the woods
Burning the fires, casting away what should
The finite of his life
No more then the first time again, in that saloon
That he saw his the woman almost his wife
With the moon mindless on the breeze
Old men argue on the side of the road
While ships go by lost in the sea
Mountains shine as the earth is free
Rememberin' past memories
And as I walked down the side of the road
It sparked up in inside of me
