Lyrics

Out in the land of the red coyote
Where the rain is a cool mirage
Ol` Major Dan is eatin` peyote
And prayin` to the cactus gods
He ain`t seen another human being
Since Jerry mowed the White House lawn
And he ain`t heard Bob Dylan sing
Since the helicopters left Saigon

Up around the bend there`s a red dirt road
Take a left at the beat up van
Ol` hippie Jim is growin` smoke
And livin` off the virgin land
He ain`t seen another human being
Since L.B.J. skipped town
And he ain`t heard a white dove sing
Since Bobby and the Doctor went down

(C):
Maybe they`ll get together
Hippie Jim and Major Dan
Maybe they`ll sing a protest song
About a broken promised land
Maybe they`ll be blood brothers
And share the same disease
Maybe they`ll light a big ol` pipe
And talk about war and peace

Down in the corner of the back of my mind
Beneath the smoldering cells
I try`ta flashback to a better time
But my memory always fails
I don`t feel like I use`ta feel
So please leave me alone
And I no longer have the will
To find my way back home

VARIATION (C):
Maybe we`ll get together
Hippie Jim, Major Dan, and me
Maybe we`ll sing one last song
About the way things use`ta be
Maybe we`ll be blood brothers
And share the same disease
Maybe we`ll light a big ol`pipe
And finally rest in peace
