lyrics

I caught the 4:09
She pulled in on time
Big city lookin' big and mean
Making me feel little and lean
I don't like to move too fast
So I found a bench by a patch of grass

Watching the world go by...

A guy came up to me
He was wearing a pinstripe suit
(And gucci shoes)
He said "Boy you're in my seat
Now let me tell you what you're going to do
You better get up, get clean, get a job
Or you can get out of town
I'm sick and tired of you hippies hanging around"

I just looked him in the eye...

I bet you lie and cheat for money
Bet you drive a fancy automobile
But what about other people's problems
When they're stuck under your wheels?

You say we all die alone
When you live in luxury
You say it's alright at home
When you're talking bout equality

I'll stand up
And look down on your greed

That ain't no way to live
When your success means another man's poverty
That you think you can relieve
When you take it all and give a little charity

Well I don't need your kind of money
I prefer my peace of mind
You come on like you love your story
When all you want is a piece of mine
Yeah you're looking for a piece of mine!

I caught the 4:09
I tried to leave it all behind
Big city don't follow me
The country life is the life for me
