All my friends think that I’m a witch Cause I grow so many herbs in the ground I turn them upside down I make them howl like wolves All my friends think that I’m a witch and I don’t even have a tarot deck though I can use one Mine was torn up by them wolves Torn up by them wolves wolves wolves wolves wolves wolves wolves wolves yeah Don’t you know there’s no tomorrow? Where does it go? Wolves All my friends think that I’m a witch cause I know that I can sing to the moon like a gypsy Croon like them wolves Singing with them wolves wolves wolves wolves wolves wolves wolves wolves Night and day (Dave) Don’t you know there’s no tomorrow ?Where does it go? Wolves wolves wolves wolves wolves wolves wolves wolves Torn up by them wolves All my friends think that I’m a witch cause I grow so many herbs in the ground, wow I turn them upside down, I turn ethm upside down I make them howl like wolves

Just because you’re not in prison anymore doesn’t mean that I won’t write you letters And it also doesn’t mean that I don’t think on you each and almost every single day Bet you never thought you’d get a letter from prison Mississippi State no less “They got me in for smoking pot and jumping bail and holy god, They pinned me for this scoundrel that I’m not” Bet you never thought you’d have a pen pal in prison with perfect cursive penmanship Who’s writing out the stories of his life for you Write it off for Mr. Dusty King There never was a stranger man in a cell Bet you’ll never know how far a letter from a friend will go Further than the pen I went and sent it So lick a prayer, say a thought, send a stamp that’s all I got Lighting up the Mississippi Pen Light it up for Mr. Dusty King There never was a stranger man in a cell What a nut without a shell la la la la ooo Bet you never thought you’d have a pen pal in prison with perfect cursive penmanship Who’s writing out the stories of his life for me Sincerely smile when you think of Dusty King Smile when you think of Dusty King Sincerely smile when you think of Dusty King Smile when you think of Dusty King Sincerely smile when you think of Dusty King

Standing, staring with my face toward the San Francisco bay The day I heard you on the early morning radio The day I heard you died, oh no, don’t wanna go But oh how the ocean roars and overtakes the rocks and shores And all the people take pictures from the dock San Francisco, you’re always colder than I thought you’d be But if there was a way for Claude Monet to take away this pain I’d stare for hours; could we just walk another block Oh, cause I don’t wanna go Let’s go back to San Francisco Cause oh how the ocean roars and overtakes the rocks and shores And all the people take pictures from the dock Of all the people taking pictures from the dock Oh San Francisco, I don’t wanna go Oh, is it me or just this old town, I don’t know But I don’t wanna go Let’s go back to San Francisco

We’ll just have to wait and see the next time I’m in Tennessee Well, the last time I was in Austin I tried running into you Little did I know there’s nothing I could say or do Cause I hear you moved to Memphis, yeah I hear you got a job And I bet you make friends easy now you left it all behind Yeah I hear you’ve gotten wiser and I hear you’re still a writer Yeah I hear you moved to Memphis, yeah I hear you’re doing fine We’ll just have to wait and see the next time I’m in Tennessee Well, the next time I’m in Memphis I’ll try running into you Little do I know there’s nothing I can say or do Cause I hear you’ve gotten older, yeah I hear you got a girl That she looks like me and she acts like you Thought that I would try running into you As if the things I thought I lost could ever be found again in Memphis Tried running into you where I hear you hit the big time yeah I hear you’re doing fine We’ll just have to wait and see the next time I’m in Tennessee Thought that I would As if the heart I thought I broke needed to be mended in Memphis I tried running into you Well, here I am in Tennessee turns out you don’t mean much to me Yeah I hear you moved to Memphis and I hear you’re doing…here I am in Memphis and I hear you’re doing fine
