Mud Spring Draw (Genauer)

Mud Spring Draw
Mud Spring Draw was a peaceful town
Just a ‘lil town outside of Jherico
And when the walls came tumbling down
Mud Spring Draw refused to go

Well, the banker froze
The grocer dozed
The drunkards all wore smiles
As they examined the debris
When the mayor got there
he said "I do declare - A little bit of dust and dirt don't bother me."

{Chorus}
I am bored of the idea
That your days become more clearer
After a long time gone
To the folks of Mud Spring Draw
Who keep livin’ where they are
The days get hard you know
On my way, I'm on my way, I'm on my way
On my way I'll be back home again {repeat}

Outside of town there lived an aging whore
Went by the name of Cindy-Lou
The mayor said she could have been a queen
So did every other guy in town that Cindy knew

They gave her gifts of turquoise rings
They gave her lavish strings of pearls
And in a way she truly was a Queen
The richest one of all the mud Spring girl

{Chorus}

Well the Daughters of the Revolution came to eat,
They reveled in their cakes and creamed potatoes.
The mayor's wife talked of the politics of life
And if she knew about his queen she didn't say so.

Well there was bantering and secret sits
From ticklers that were left behind the toilet
The evening passed and the questions that were asked
Were ones that they were certain wouldn't spoil it.

{Chorus}
