lyrics

oh my little blue truck
i fixed you up
everything but the buckle

and a big bench seat
room for jack buster and me
we watch the road like a tv screen

bouncing up and down
catching nuthin at fenton
rolling backwards to the 4
scaring my poor mother

and on a dark dark mountain
i said goodbye to a friend
walked roses up the hill
buster licking all my tears

to the watermelon mountains
rainbows in the stream
dogs running wild and free
still here with me

singing oo de lally
to lil birds and lil doggies
goodbye caballo goodbye t or c

walking by the golden
cottonwood forest
along the rio grande
every october

and from the greyhound station
farewell to a girl there
someone who could really care
she never minded my tears

to the watermelon mountains
thunder and lightening
the dogs run wild and free and come back to me

i was a stranger in barelas
just working the days gone
doing time in my own cell
still i made a friend there

watermelon mountains
rainbows in the stream
oh to everything still here with me

watermelon mountains
the dogs run wild and free
i can't wait to wake up and see
see you again
