Idiot blues

I got success on my mind

she's a pretty nice girl

she is not being unkind

Got me a brand new pair of walking shoes

I'm all slicked back

& got nothin' to lose

I got friends who live in the jungle

lost themselves in the worthless tangle

each of them is a rolling stone

& all of them own their own homes

now some roll left & some roll right

& some of them can't sleep at night

uh huh.... they got the idiot blues....

Me I'm gonna rattle my own pots & pans

& take me off to the distant land

I hope this land don't go up in smoke

& if I go that I don't go broke

there is some time left to contemplate

so I'll put my meat right on the plate

I'll put that plate right on the train

that can carry me back to the promised land

singing....

I got the idiot blues.......
