Kicking a can, down the old dirt road, br Where tandem trucks, carried their loads. br Down to the stream to soak my feet, br Sure feels good in this beastly heat. br br Kicking a can by the grapefruit trees, br Waltzing right through all the honey bees. br Taking a grapefruit that looks just ripe, br And cutting it open, with my pocket knife. br br Kicking a can down the railroad tracks, br Laying nails on the rails, as the train comes back. br They'll make the perfect arrowheads, br Once the train comes back, and crushes them flat. br br Kicking a can in the setting sun, br The day is over, but I had my fun. br Gonna get some supper and then to bed, br Wish I was kicking a can instead. br br 6310 29 palms ca.
