automobile sign painter blues
Man’s walking two dogs.
One's bigger than the other.
The smaller is the mother.
Lord how children grow.
Man holds the car door open.
The dogs jump in.
When the sign on the door says, “Animal cemetery”,
Is that a sin?
Is there something else those dogs should know?
I’m thumbing a ride.
Man stops his car.
I’m not going too far.
Sign on the door says “Undertaker”.
How far can I take her
Before I got to really go?
Someone’s painting signs on automobiles.
Someone’s steering the steering wheel.
What if we were just like some fed up whore
And didn’t get in that open door?
Would it alter the final score?
That’d be one hell of a no show.
Yeah, one hell of a no show.
