Patchwork River
Heard Joe Farmer say, 'scuse me please* Those were the days, but so are these Pull over park, turn off the key Let's go walkin' just you and me
Sometimes always, sometimes never Been this way damn near forever Promises that don't deliver Let's sit down to Patchwork River
Patchwork River, Patchwork River Me and Joe Farmer walked down together Talk about hopes, talk about schemes Talk about salvagin' some of our dream
Heard Joe Farmer say, if I may Serve you breakfast on a supper tray Got no eggs but I saved some shell Lost the clapper but I found the bell
This man's father is that man's son Bothers and sisters, has he none Look in the shavin' glass, what's he see Looks like mama but it talks like me
Patchwork River, Patchwork River Me and Joe Farmer walked down together Tell a few jokes at our own expense 'Bout life on the other side of the fence
Heard Joe Farmer say, don't be shy Same rules apply as in days gone by Styles may vary and the lingo been What it all boils down to in the end
Pay your dues and take your chance Don't mistake hunger for romance Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Forgiveness is nifty, but enough's enough When they keep on pullin' that same old stuff
Patchwork River, Patchwork River Me and Joe Farmer walked down together Talk about wealth and the worry it brings Lack of satisfaction and other things
Vision is simple by moonlight, everything black and white No colors to construe, just a range black and blue Softer tones, fewer voices Freedom from too many choices New born moon, a silver sliver Gleamin' on the Patchwork River
Heard Joe Farmer say, just in case You feel like cutting' right to the chase I would never stand in your way But there's one thing I wanna say
What you do for love alone will last The rest just clutters up your past If you don't know that much by now You're never gonna learn it anyhow
Patchwork River, Patchwork River Me and Joe Farmer walked down together Talk about hopes, talk about schemes Talk about salvagin' some of our dreams
Patchwork River, flowin' with song Patchwork clouds are driftin' along Talk about hopes, talk about schemes Talk about salvagin' some of our dream
