lyrics

I heard about a man from Tennessee
He got a one way ticket to Vegas
To live a dream.
With a roll of the dice
He sacrificed
Every bit of sanity
I saw the lights of Vegas
Sweep him clean.

We sing:
Oh Lord
Takin my pay
Oh Lord
No where to stay
Oh Lord
Just bummin around today.

I heard about a man in Arkansas
He told me he was looking for a job
Tried everything he could
Did what they said he should
But I saw Arkansas
Take it all.

I saw a gal
Standing in some town
Holding up a sign for down town.
Looking for some work
She just needs a little perk
I saw society let her be.

I've been to every town across this land
I try to see the beauty
The best I can
but I look to the East
and I look to the West
Every chain has raped your land
The best they can.
