Guthrie's Bathroom Blues

Lyrics

[Verse] Guthrie's been gone since the break of dawn, Locked behind that ol' oak door. Says he's got some thinkin' to do, But it's been hours, maybe more. [Verse 2] He took the paper, left me lonely, With that toilet running on. I hear him hummin' some old tune, While I'm waitin' on the lawn. [Chorus] Guthrie, come on out soon, Can't be spendin' all day in that room. Guthrie, the cows need you now, They ain't gonna milk themselves somehow. [Verse 3] He's readin' stories 'bout the frontier, Dreamin' big while he's sittin' tight. But there's chores that ain't been done yet, Ain't no way to say it's right. [Verse 4] His coffee's cold, supper's burnin', Kids are laughin' in the yard. Still, he's sittin' on his throne there, While life keeps movin' hard. [Chorus] Guthrie, come on out soon, Can't be spendin' all day in that room. Guthrie, the cows need you now, They ain't gonna milk themselves somehow.
