Washboard Road

One hapless day
I took my place
On a reckless stage
Holdin up the rain
For the world to see
On Olive Street
Where I gave it all away
I heard a fox say something
He said “I’m not tame
But I see you’re looking
Looking the other way
You know you can’t involve what you can’t absolve
Because you gave it all away”
Will you hold it against me when tomorrow comes?
While I’m headed home
Down this washboard road
I’ll do my best to hold you up along the way
Hold on melody
Don’t let go of me
Even if you can’t arrest me for the day
Even if you can’t arrest me for the day
