Lyrics
I tried things your way, fought 'till the bitter end
I'd rather break my back than break my heart again
Now I play for the gents, sing for the ladies
Riding the rails in to the eighteen eighties
I'm livin' in the Garden of Eden
'Cause I got a garden of weed in my yard
In a world where the women are gussied and preened
I'd sure miss g-strings riding up blue jeans
But that's OK
'Cause a smile on the street is sweeter any day
Could there be a happy place
For Mike Tea to find some peace of mind?
It seems to me the struggle's been the same
Through every day and age
Stop your car by the side of a quiet country road
Take a moment to ponder his weathered stone
If that's all he leaves behind that would be just fine for
Mike Tea in 1870
Could there be a happy place for Mike Tea?
