9420 Wogan Terrace
(Bob Lusk)

My father, talked to the man who worked the tugboats
My father, knew how to ride a horse and shoot a gun
My father, rode the rails
My father, worked in the apple orchards
My father, was in the army My father, worked in a factory
My father, had a grocery store for 30 years,

and raised 7 children
My father, came to visit me in the stockade

during the war in Vietnam
My father, can't understand why I'm trying to make a living

singing songs

My mother, always smiles
My mother, was born and raised down on the farm
My mother, worked in a department store
My mother, married my father,

and moved north
My mother, worked in the grocery store for 30 years

bore and raised 7 children
My mother, refused to come and see me when I was in the stockade

during the war in Vietnam
My mother, can't understand why I'm trying to make a living

singing songs

Me, I'm just standing here
I, was born in Brooklyn
I had an unhappy childhood
I worked in the grocery store
I was drafted
I refused to go to Vietnam
Now, I'm just standing here
And sometimes, I can't understand why I'm trying to make a living

singing songs
