Seeds (Live)

Well a great black river a man had found

So he put all his money in a hole in the ground

And sent a big steel arm drivin' down down down

Man now I live on the streets of Houston townPacked up my wife and kids when winter came along

And we headed down south with just spit and a song

But they said "Sorry son it's gone gone gone"Well there's men hunkered down by the railroad tracks

The Elkhorn Special blowin' my hair back

Tents pitched on the highway in the dirty moonlight

And I don't know where I'm gonna sleep tonightParked in the lumberyard freezin' our asses off

My kids in the back seat got a graveyard cough

Well I'm sleepin' up in front with my wife

Billy club tappin' on the windshield in the middle of the night

Says "Move along man move along"Well big limousine long shiny and black

You don't look ahead you don't look back

How many times can you get up after you've been hit ?

Well I swear if I could spare the spit

I'd lay one on your shiny chrome

And send you on your way back home

So if you're gonna leave your town where the north wind blow

To go on down where that sweet soda river flow

Well you better think twice on it Jack

You're better off buyin' a shotgun dead off the rack

You ain't gonna find nothin' down here friend

Except seeds blowin' up the highway in the south wind

Movin' on movin' on it's gone gone all gone
