Well, the wind blows wild and the trees are flying,
old Scorpio's rising and the sky's on fire
I strolled down to the water just to watch the boats capsize
Well, my spirit's high and my stomach's full,
it's good to feel a little gravitational pull
And I got a woman bound to make my temperature rise

I been working at the mill since a-way last August
Hell, it's better than the Gulf Station back in Saugus
And the weather's been wet, so there's really nothing better to do
We were living in a trailer, now we got our own place,
it's a half mile off from the whole human race
And the crop's coming in just before the payment is due

(Chorus:)

Whoa - I must say it's been a fine Thanksgiving!
Old Father Time's been smiling on me
When I hear them old songs I can't keep from singing
This true love that I've found has turned my world around

Well, I got an old friend who's a great success
With his name in the paper and his head in a mess
Spent his youth trying to make the music pay
Now he wants to be the world's greatest big-time showman,
flashing his stones like a declined Roman
And I wouldn't trade him if he threw in all the coke in LA

(Chorus
