First Train We Can Ride




Gotta go to Tulsa,
first train we can ride.
Gotta settle
one old score,
one small point
of pride.
There ain't a place
a man can hide,
Shadow, that will
keep him
from the sun.
There ain't a bed
can give us rest now.
You keep us
on the run.
--Garcia/Hunter
(from "Jack Straw")
