Broken "Okie"

Broken "Okie"
(Roger Gall)

Live a life of "Russian Roulette,"
Running from that smoking gun,
To find the ones you leave behind you
Ain't got nowhere to run.

If life is a sad story,
Then his was too hard to bear.
If Woody's "Bound For Glory,"
I hope we'll all meet him there.

Woodrow Wilson Guthrie
And his "Fascist Killing Machine."
It's "Hard Traveling" Woody,
Still following the dream.

Just a broken "Okie,"
Whose rambling days are done.
Won't be riding no more freight trains,
But "Railroad Pete" travels on.

Pete's a tough little critter,
The kind you'd seek out as a friend.
You can tell he ain't no quitter.
He'll see it through 'til the end.

Woodrow Wilson Guthrie
And his "Fascist Killing Machine."
It's "Hard Traveling" Woody,
Still following the dream.
