OLD DIRT ROAD
(John Lennon / Harry Nilsson)

John Lennon - 1974
Harry Nilsson - 1980


Ain't no people on the old dirt road
No more weather on the old dirt road
But it's better than a mudslide, mama
When the dry spell comes, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, old dirt road

There ain't no difference on the old dirt road
Tarred and feathered on the old dirt road
It's like trying to shovel smoke
With a pitchfork in the wind, yeah

Breezin' through the desert on a hot summer day
I saw a human being lazy bonin' out in the hay
I said, "Hey, Mister Human, can you 'Rainmaker' too?"
He said, "I guess it's okay"
You know the only thing I need is water
Cool, clear water

Ain't no people on the old dirt road
No more weather on the old dirt road
But it's better than a mudslide, mama
When the morning comes, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, old dirt road

Ain't no difference on the road
Tarred and feathered on the old dirt road
Dirt road
Dirt road
Dirt road
