"Jet Lag Blues" lyrics

"Jet Lag Blues"

Unmarked stones in the burial ground
Unmarked wheel keeps the wagon goin' round
Casablanca, have you heard the news?
Fog will lift, I got the jet lag blues

Freight yards down in Wichita
Freight hopper's luck is hard to draw
Grass fires burn the Oklahoma plains
Summer comes and the dust remains

Your daddy's rich and I am poor (but rich at heart)
Your spoiled daughter well she wants more
Spirit comes through obstructed mirrors
I'll catch the train right out of here

It's been this way many times before
Legends made of old folklore
That'll be my ticket right out of here
Stage stop seven miles, my dear

On a rooftop down in Senegal
These malaria pills, they don't work at all
Been up now for seven days
All my dreams in a purple haze

Unmarked stones in the burial ground
Unmarked wheel keeps the wagon goin' round
Casablanca, have you heard the news?
Fog will lift, I got the jet lag blues
