Lyrics:
- Well I woke up this morning
- With the cold water
- With the cold water
- With the cold water
- Woke up this morning
- With the cold water
- With the cold water
- With the cold
- Police at the station
- And they don't look friendly
- Well they don't look friendly
- Well they don't look friendly
- Police at the station
- And they don't look friendly
- They don't look friendly well
- They don't
- Blind or crippled
- Sharp or dull
- I'm reading the Bible
- By a 40 watt bulb
- What price freedom
- Dirt is my rug
- Well I sleep like a baby
- With the snakes and the bugs
- Well the stores are open
- But I ain't got no money
- I ain't got no money
- Stores are open but I
- Ain't got no money
- Ain't got no money
- Well I ain't
- Found an old dog
- And he seems to like me
- Seems to like me
- Well he seems to like me
- Found an old dog and he
- Seems to like me
- Seems to like me
- Well he seems
- Seen them fellows
- with the card board signs
- Scrapin up a little $
- To buy a bottle of wine
- Pregnant women and
- The Vietnam vets I say
- Beggin on the freeway
- Bout as hard as it gets
- Well I slept in the graveyard
- It was cool and still
- Cool and still
- It was cool and still
- Slept in the graveyard
- It was cool and still
- Cool and still and it
- Was cool
- Slept all night in the Cedar grove
- I was born to ramble
- Born to rove
- Some men are searchin for the
- Holy Grail
- But there ain't nothin sweeter
- Than ridin the rails
- I love 47 but I'm 24
- Well they shooed me away
- From here the time before
- Turned there their backs
- And they locked their doors
- I'm watching T.V. in
- The window of a furniture store
- Well I woke up this morning
- With the cold water
- With the cold water
- With the cold water
- Woke up this morning
- With the cold water
- With the cold water
- With the cold
