Southern Cross — текст песни (The Ozark Mountain Daredevils)

(INTRO)

there`s a lotta folks down at the island

that follow that astrology

some got a chart of the heavens

and some got a fancy degree

but me I got a pick-up

and I drive it like a Fourth of July

and that`s where I seen the vision

when it fell right out of the sky



it said



follow, follow the southern cross

leave your luck in Mexico

there ain`t no way to get lost

cause there ain`t no place to go



so I bought me a ticket to Texas

and I hopped on a plane to Peru

I met a little lady from Chile

and she fed me a tropical root

now I`m down in Tierra del Fuego

and nothin` around me is right

I think I got a case of lumbago

but it`s better than the northern lights



I gotta



follow, follow the southern cross

leave your luck in Mexico

there ain`t no way to get lost

cause there ain`t no place to go

(HORN SOLO)



so I paddled out to Easter Island

about as fast as I could go

I saw and albatross on the horizon

and the stone heads all in a row

I found the secret of navigation

and the mystery of the Milky Way

now I`m livin` in the constellations

tell me what more I can say



you gotta



follow, follow the southern cross

and leave your luck in Mexico

there ain`t no way to get lost

cause there ain`t no place to go

whoa!

(HORN STUFF)
