out of my dirty red bandanna
I sang some wampum

windshield wipers
sloppin' time
and [D] I was holed by his hand and mine
[D] and we sang every
song that drive me new
[C] freedom's just another word
[G] nothing left to lose [D] nothing
it ain't nothin' if it ain't [G] free

[Em] [E] one day on a near Salinas land
[A] I let him slip away
he's lookin' for that
honor before I find it
