Lyrics

[00:24.22] Well I used to drive a cab you know
[00:29.34] I heard a siren scream
[00:33.52] Pulled over to the corner
[00:36.55] And I fell into a dream
[00:45.98] There were two men eating pennies
[00:50.81] And three young girls who cried
[00:55.40] The West coast is falling
[00:58.45] I see rocks in the sky
[01:05.51] The preacher took his bible
[01:09.29] And laid it on the stool
[01:12.91] He said: with the congregation running
[01:16.39] Why should I play the fool
[01:36.24] Well I used to be a woman you know
[01:42.05] I took you for a ride
[01:45.93] I let you fly my airplane
[01:48.99] It looked good for your pride
[01:53.99] 'Cause you're the kind of man you know
[01:59.11] Who likes what he says
[02:02.99] I wonder what's it's like
[02:04.13] To be so far over my head
[02:12.51] Well the lady made the wedding
[02:16.45] And she brought along the ring
[02:20.07] She got down on her knees
[02:24.04] And said: Let's get on with this thing
[02:45.07] Well I used to be a folk singer
[02:50.21] Keeping managers alive
[02:54.38] When you saw me on a corner
[02:56.97] And told me I was jive
[03:05.03] So I unlocked your mind you know
[03:09.66] To see what I could see
[03:13.04] If you guarantee the postage
[03:15.65] I'll mail you back the key
[03:24.88] Well I woke up in the morning
[03:28.40] With an arrow through my nose
[03:31.57] There was an Indian in the corner
[03:35.25] Tryin' on my clothes
[04:17.10] Well I used to be asleep you know
[04:22.65] With blankets on my bed
[04:28.44] I stayed there for a while
[04:31.30] 'Til they discovered I was dead
[04:38.16] The coroner was friendly
[04:43.76] And I liked him quite a lot
[04:47.98] If I hadn't 've been a woman
[04:51.55] I guess I'd never have been caught
[04:59.66] They gave me back my house and car
[05:03.58] And nothing more was said
[05:43.85] Well I was driving down the freeway
[05:47.83] When my car ran out of gas
[05:51.76] Pulled over to the station
[05:54.08] But I was afraid to ask
[06:02.19] The servicemen were yellow
[06:05.36] And the gasoline was green
[06:08.90] Although I knew I couldn't
[06:11.02] I thought that I was gonna scream
[06:18.18] That was on my last trip to Tulsa
[06:22.51] Just before the snow
[06:25.52] If you ever need a ride there
[06:29.10] Be sure to let me know
[07:31.12] I was chopping down a palm tree
[07:37.48] When a friend dropped by to ask
[07:41.53] If I would feel less lonely
[07:45.34] If he helped me swing the axe
[07:57.27] I said: No it's not a case of being lonely
[08:02.00] We have here
[08:06.94] I've been working on this palm tree
[08:10.81] For eighty seven years
[08:39.47] I said: No it's not a case of being lonely
[08:45.92] We have here
[08:49.10] I've been working on this palm tree
[08:55.29] For eighty seven years
[09:03.53] He said: Go get lost
[09:06.57] And walked towards his Cadillac
[09:12.82] I chopped down the palm tree
[09:16.15] And it landed on his back
