Oh Abraham

歌詞

I see a penny and I pick it up If not the money I could use the luck And if it's face down I turn it over Head for Wood Avenue Between Inman and New Dover Back in my home town Gas is cheaper where I'm from But the driving's not so good People go and stay where they should not And they don't do it like I would Work is not the same as before More soft wear hands in the hardware store Oh Abraham look at all the money now Oh Abraham good night It's your party but I'll cry if I want to I wouldn't care how much they have If they would only do what's right I was born by a Kerouac stream Under Eisenhower skies They saw freedom as a big idea Now it was right before my eyes They said Jack helped to build the Pentagon And Ike built this interstate that we are off and on Oh Abraham was it all about the money then Oh Abraham good night It's your party but I'll cry if I want to All moneyed up and charmed with might So we are right, we're always right We're right, they're wrong Let them get their own song Let them get their own song I see a penny and I pick it up 99 more and I have a buck Abe you were born in old Kentuck' But we still miss you here
