Buffalo Rose & Tom Paxton - Green Light Lyrics

Buffalo Rose & Tom Paxton Lyrics

"Green Light"

Called up my Lila Mae
She lives in Monterey
'Bout two or three miles from the California coastline
I had a lot to say
She stopped me about halfway
Said, "Baby, you're a joke but I could be your punchline"
Oh salvation is a-waiting, and Moses is a green light

We had a half a tank
Last of the stash we drank
Gonna need to slow it down but I think we're gonna be alright (alright)
Oh 'cause salvation is a-waiting, and Moses is a green light

I said, "I'm sick of waiting here on a savior"
She said, "It's closer than it looks in the mirror"
You can calm yourself, children, the spirit is willing
In this life, there's nothing to fear

Went back to Monterey
Felt like a brand new day
Still two or three miles from the California coastline
Didn't have much to say (much to say)
I brought back my Lila Mae
She said, "I got another joke but I'll save it for the next time"
Oh salvation is a-waiting, and Moses is a green light
Oh yeah salvation is a-waiting, and Moses is a green light
Oh yeah salvation is a-waiting, and Moses is a green light
Salvation is a-waiting, and Moses is a green light
Salvation is a-waiting, and Moses is a green light
Yeah yeah salvation is a-waiting, and Moses is a green light
Salvation is a-waiting, and Moses is a green light
