Grateful Dead - Truckin' Garcia;Lesh;Weir;Hunter

Lyrics:Truckin got my chips cashed in. keep truckin, like the do-dah man

Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin on.

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on main street.

Chicago, new york, detroit and its all on the same street.

Your typical city involved in a typical daydream

Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings.

Dallas, got a soft machine; houston, too close to new orleans;

New yorks got the ways and means; but just wont let you be, oh no.

Most of the cast that you meet on the streets speak of true love,

Most of the time theyre sittin and cryin at home.

One of these days they know they better get goin

Out of the door and down on the streets all alone.

Truckin, like the do-dah man. once told me youve got to play your hand

Sometimes your cards aint worth a dime, if you dont layem down,

Sometimes the lights all shinin on me;

Other times I can barely see.

Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip its been.

What in the world ever became of sweet jane?

She lost her sparkle, you know she isnt the same

Livin on reds, vitamin c, and cocaine,

All a friend can say is aint it a shame?

Truckin, up to buffalo. been thinkin, you got to mellow slow

Takes time, you pick a place to go, and just keep truckin on.

Sittin and starin out of the hotel window.

Got a tip theyre gonna kick the door in again

Id like to get some sleep before I travel,

But if you got a warrant, I guess youre gonna come in.

Busted, down on bourbon street, set up, like a bowlin pin.

Knocked down, it gets to wearin thin. they just wont let you be, oh no.

Youre sick of hangin around and youd like to travel;

Get tired of travelin and you want to settle down.

I guess they cant revoke your soul for tryin,

Get out of the door and light out and look all around.

Sometimes the lights all shinin on me;

Other times I can barely see.

Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip its been.

Truckin, Im a goin home. whoa whoa baby, back where I belong,

Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin on.

Hey now get back truckin home.

In life you've got to play your hands. Sometimes the cards and worth a damn if you don't lay 'em down.

Not as long and strange a trip as Jenner's has been, from Wheaties box to Vanity Fair cover.

Thi song sounds very similar to a song composed a year before it - The Ballad of John and Yoko. They've tried to mask it with different lyrics but it's basically the same song. They have the same beat. They are both 'journey' songs. They have the same quick angry delivery of the verse. They have a bit of harmomised singing (Macartney harmonises towards the end), the same stabbing keyboard playing.

First time listening to the Grateful Dead, and I am not impressed. I should have known, all Grateful Dead fans are, pasty, slightly obese, white people.
