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 L.A. (Chorus)
