Navajo Rug

() Well it's three eggs up on whiskey toast Homefries on the side Wash it down with truckstop coffee Burns up your inside Just a Canyon, Colorado diner And a waitress I did love We sat in the back 'neath an old stuffed bear And a worn out Navajo rug Well old Jack the boss he'd close at six Then it's Katie bar the door She'd pull down that Navajo rug And she'd spread it 'cross the floor Hey I saw lightning in the sacred mountains Saw the dance of the turtle doves Lyin' next to Katie On that old Navajo rug Chorus: Ai-yi-yi, Katie, shades of red and blue Ai-yi-yi, Katie Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you? Well I saw old Jack about a year ago He said the place burned to the ground And all he saved was an old bear tooth And Katie she left town But Katie she got her a souvenir too Jack spat out a tabacco plug He said "You shoulda seen her runnin' through the smoke Draggin' that Navajo rug." Repeat Chorus Now everytime I cross the sacred mountains And lightning breaks above It always takes me back in time To my long lost Katie love Ah but everything keeps on movin' And everyone's on the go They don't make things that last anymore Like a double-woven Navajo Repeat Chorus Katie, shades of red and blue Ay-yi-yi, Katie Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you? Taken from the album: A Poor Man?s Dream(1990)
