[00:00:02] Written by：M. Murphey

[00:00:36] She sits on the front porch

[00:00:40] The old house that stands scorched

[00:00:44] Under the sun stroke of a desert day that chocked

[00:00:51] Her old man who fell in the sun

[00:00:58] With rattle snakes and keep sakes

[00:01:02] Old boxes of Corn Flakes

[00:01:05] Grammar phones and gem stones

[00:01:09] And three unclaimed door frames

[00:01:12] And bleached bones and rocks by the ton

[00:01:20] Good bye ol' desert rat

[00:01:23] Ya half crazy wild cat

[00:01:27] You knew where it was at

[00:01:30] What life's all about

[00:01:36] Ya saver of catalogs king of the prairie dogs

[00:01:43] Success is survival and you toughed it out

[00:01:54] You toughed it out

[00:02:25] The old loud mouth rock hound

[00:02:29] He kept the kids spellbound

[00:02:33] Half crazy and sun baked

[00:02:36] Ya eared your own grubstake

[00:02:39] By breakin' your back all day long

[00:02:47] With junk art and dunk carts

[00:02:51] Old Model T parts frustrated outdated and uneducated

[00:03:01] At eighty you still wrote good songs

[00:03:08] So good bye ol' desert rat

[00:03:12] Ya half crazy wild cat

[00:03:16] You knew where it was at

[00:03:19] What life's all about

[00:03:24] All ya savers of Whole Earth catalogs

[00:03:28] Kings of the prairie dogs

[00:03:32] Success is survival

[00:03:35] We'll all tough it out

[00:03:42] Yes we'll all tough it out
