Coyote Dreams

G, D, Em, C; G, D, C

Where do we go when the money's gone
Winter's come and, this place ain't warm
Ain't got a job but I got a million cares

Can't you see this city's dead
Coyotes rule the flowerbeds
Ain't much more'n weeds now, anyhow

Pass that pipe and let me think
Anything around to drink
Try to suss out what we're s'posed to do
Try to suss out what we're s'posed to do

Jump on in, shut that door
Wave goodbye to all the whores
Strollin' stoned on Jackson Avenue

We'll turn this piece of shit on south
Till we hit that river mouth
Hang a left and head out for the Keys

Joe says they've got coconuts
Brown-eyed girls with bubble butts
Lyin' on the beaches in the sun
Lyin' on the beaches in the sun

Wow Bruce, this is brilliant!!! I think this would have to be one of your best. And I say "one of" because you've got so many brilliant songs!

Thanks, Michelle. And thanks for having been my finger-picking inspiration. Someday, I'll do it half as well as you do.

Another Bruce classic. It must be so satisfying to write these songs :)

Thanks, Shane. Learning to play music over these past five years has been one of the great pleasures of my life.

Holy crap Bruce... Stupid youtube failed to notify me of this one. Just wow.

That lyric is perfect. Pardon the cliche - but this may be my favorite of yours so far.

Just one hell of a song.

Thanks, Grumps. I think we both like singing about the gritty bits.

some good words in this song, your a master writer bruce...

[keonepax]

Another great song, Bruce! Nice use of alliteration!  You're quite the poet!

[LStrachey]

Well, I couldn't tell if this was yours or a cover. (and I didn't realise you had done anything recently -- your channel does 'most popular' rather than 'most recent'). All the best.

Thanks, Shawn. I was a bit worried about using "suss," so it's nice to hear that.
