HEAD FOR THE HILLS

HEAD FOR THE HILLS 

IT’S JUST AN INCONVENIENCE, A SUGGESTION, NOT AN ORDER 

I KNOW I COULD GET A TICKET, BUT HE’S JUST DOING HIS JOB, SORT OF 

I’LL STAND IN LINE AT THE GROCERY STORE AND EYE EACH OTHER SUSPICIOUSLY 

BUT IT’S ALL FOR GOOD, DON’T YOU SEE, IT’S A REAL THREAT, C’MON NOW, NOT A STORY 

MOST FICTITIOUSLY 

 HEAD FOR THE HILLS, I HEARD YOU SAY 

BUT I DON’T THINK IT’LL BE THAT WAY 

THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THEY HAVE OUR BACKS 

MY FRIENDS ARE HERE, MY HOME IS HERE, AND MY OLD CAT, ‘BLACK JACK’ 

MANY PEOPLE DIED 100 YEARS AGO IN THE DISTANT PAST 

THEY CAUGHT A BUG, HACKED AND SHIVERED AND BREATHED THEIR LAST 

THE SPANISH FLU WAS GLOBAL, A DAMNED HORRIBLE SIGHT 

NO REASON FOR ANYONE TO DIE TODAY OUR MEDICINES ARE JUST RIGHT 

HEAD FOR THE HILLS, I HEARD YOU SAY 

BUT I DON’T THINK IT’LL BE THAT WAY 

THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THEY HAVE OUR BACKS 

MY FRIENDS ARE HERE, MY HOME IS HERE, AND MY OLD CAT, ‘BLACK JACK’ 

I WISH YOU LUCK, YOU’LL BE BACK, JUST A TOUCH OF LIBERTY 

CHAINED TOGETHER IN A BOX CAR, CHAINED TOGETHER FOR ETERNITY 

IT WASN’T ME, IT WASN’T YOU, IT WAS THAT NO ONE GAVE A CRAP 

I’M HAPPY TO SEE, THAT YOU AND ME, WILL BE TOGETHER, AT THE LAST ACT 

HEAD FOR THE HILLS, I HEARD YOU SAY 

BUT I DON’T THINK IT’LL BE THAT WAY 

THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THEY HAVE OUR BACKS 

MY FRIENDS ARE HERE, MY HOME IS HERE, AND MY OLD CAT, ‘BLACK JACK’
