Moses & Me - Dirk Hamilton

Six to one a half a dozen to another ya' know the road is broad as it's long

When you're feelin' fair to middlin'

Sittin' ticklin' elephant ivory and cover a yawn

When the mountain split apart from the freeway

I remember when Moses & me

Went for the milk and the honey of the Mokulomne

He was hungry & I was fed up but I kept up

And he talked most the way

He said ya' think you're a cynic but you're a stone lover boy anyway

And we jigged in the moonlight behind the campfire light skunked on a fifth of Ol' Tim

and we slept in a clearin' where the sound from the freeway was dim

O a kindred soul can help sometimes ya' know

There the laughter was hollow and the city was packed and fast

And we hustled and we were hungry and we were bumped and ignored as we past

And I walked around wide-eyed or drunk dead-fish-eyed frazzled to crack any time

and the billboard on Pico said, "Try Our Tequila with Lime"

I said, "Moses, I don't think I can take this crap"

He said, "Suffer, Ya' gotta suffer out your Jesus rap"
