Lyrics

Me And My Jawbone

Verse 1: The voice of distant thunder heeded by a youthful ear

The call to action The call to glory With no regrets and without fear he says

“The righteous they have walked this road, so why do I feel so alone?”

He looks out on the endless highway Just him and this old jawbone

Chorus: On my way back home... Just me and my jawbone

Verse 2: He walks down the road a ways but he's so hungry that he can't see

He forgets his name He forgets his rank He forgets about his destiny

He says “Baby I love you but I'm just so far from home and it's just

Me and you and you and me and me and you and me and this old jawbone

Chorus:

Verse 3: Up to the windy city... Detroit, New York...Cold as ice

But he just keeps right on looking for this paradise He says

“You and me Baby till the wheels fall off” He never would change his tune

But what do you know! The wheels fell off That's all for the honeymoon

Chorus:

He stops to lick his wounds in a cellar in the borough of Queens

A prodigal in a foreign land... Jonah swallowed by his dreams He says

“I'm going to go and take what's mine, if it's a beating or a kiss

Cause if you don't seek then you just don't find There's not a thing out there to miss

Chorus and end
