"Lying Under Oak" lyrics

"Lying Under Oak"

Punch your ticket, get your kicks on the early bus out
Checkered past, planning a future, it's lonely roaming around
Secretly having a fling with a single mom
Hey, you're on a good one
Write sometime or call sometime when you're drunk

Let me put you up, put you up in the guest house
We got a great couch, I found it sitting on the sidewalk
One of these days, one day you're really gonna need someone
And things get bad with no companion to complain on

Keep to the roads and the stars in the sky
Lean under oaks when your legs are tired
When they're tired

It's all fixed, I sent your tickets but they came back
I had you on the AMTRAK
I thought you might like, I thought you might like that
Felt so long, right or wrong, it wouldn't be so bad
Just keep it on a straight path, get right back
Let me know where you're at

Keep to the roads and the stars in the sky
Sleep under oaks if your legs get tired
Keep to the roads and the stars in the sky
Lean under oaks when your legs get tired
When they're tired

Let me put you up, put you up
Let me put you up, put you up
Let me put you up, put you up
Let me put you up, put you up
