Old Dirt Road

Holy Jesus Fucking Christ I love John Lennon:

Ain't no people on the old dirt road / No more weather on the old dirt road / It's better than a mudslide mamma when the dry spell come, yeah / Oh oh oh old dirt road / Ain't no difference on the old dirt road / Tarred and feathered on the old dirt road / Trying to shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind, yeah yeah yeah / Breezing thru the deadwood on a hot summer day / I saw a human being lazybonin' out in the hay / I said uh, hey Mr. Human can ya rainmaker too? / He said I guess it's O.K. ya know the only thing we need is water / Cool, clear water, water / Ain't no people on the old dirt road / No more weather on the old dirt road / Better than a mudslide mamma when the morning comes, yeah / Oh oh oh oh old dirt road / Keep on keeping on / Keep on keeping on / So long, so long / Bye bye

Such deep imagery in lyrics so magnificently simple. Makes me thirsty.
