Pine For Cedars

She might be wearing A green Chamise And a hat that she bought 'Cause it matches her jeans And the water she drinks Oh it comes from the stream By the house she might win In that hospital lottery And I might be stumbling And cursing them all When she picks me up From the place that we both call Disaster relief For the rent must be paid By the first of the month Or in my case fifteenth This is good As far as I can tell It's still heavy as hell When it's good And I do like the road But I'd be better at home I will pine for the oak streets And pine for the cedars and you Been around I suppose I have chatted and chewed I have loved my guitar To the nice cafe blues And when I come home I am coming home To this street And these avenues This is good But as far as I can tell It's still heavy as hell When it's good And I do like the road But I'd be better at home I will pine for the oak streets Pine for the cedars and you --- Pine for Cedars - Dan Mangan
