๐ Lyrics
She sits on the front porch
Of the old house that stands scorched
Under the sunstroke
Of a desert day that choked
Her old man who fell in the sun
With rattlesnakes and keepsakes
Old boxes of Corn Flakes
Gramophones and gemstones
And three unclaimed door frames
And bleached bones and rocks by the ton
Goodbye old desert rat
You half crazy wild cat
You knew where it was at
What life's all about
You savior of catalogs
King of the prairie dogs
Success is survival
And you toughed it out
You toughed it out
You old loudmouth rock hound
You kept the kids spellbound
Half crazy and sunbaked
You earned your own grubstake
By breaking your back all day long
With junk art and dump cars
Old Model T parts
Frustrated, outdated, and uneducated
At eighty you still wrote good songs
So goodbye old desert rat
You half crazy wild cat
You knew where it was at
What life's all about
All you savers of whole earth catalogs
Kings of the prairie dogs
Success is survival
We'll all tough it out
Yes, we'll all tough it out
Of the old house that stands scorched
Under the sunstroke
Of a desert day that choked
Her old man who fell in the sun
With rattlesnakes and keepsakes
Old boxes of Corn Flakes
Gramophones and gemstones
And three unclaimed door frames
And bleached bones and rocks by the ton
Goodbye old desert rat
You half crazy wild cat
You knew where it was at
What life's all about
You savior of catalogs
King of the prairie dogs
Success is survival
And you toughed it out
You toughed it out
You old loudmouth rock hound
You kept the kids spellbound
Half crazy and sunbaked
You earned your own grubstake
By breaking your back all day long
With junk art and dump cars
Old Model T parts
Frustrated, outdated, and uneducated
At eighty you still wrote good songs
So goodbye old desert rat
You half crazy wild cat
You knew where it was at
What life's all about
All you savers of whole earth catalogs
Kings of the prairie dogs
Success is survival
We'll all tough it out
Yes, we'll all tough it out
