Unmarked Stones in the burial ground
Unmarked wheel keeps the Wagon go ‘round
Casablanca have you heard the news
Fog won’t lift I got the Jet Lag Blues

Freightyards down in Wichita
Freighthoppers’ luck is hard to draw
Grassfires burn the Oklahoma plains
Summer comes and the dust remains

Your daddy’s rich and I am poor (But rich at heart)
Your spoiled daughter well she wants more
Spirit comes through obstructed mirrors
I’ll catch that train right outta’ here

It’s been this way many times before
Legends made of old folklore
That’ll be my ticket right outta’ here
Stage Stop’s seven miles my dear

On a rooftop down in Senegal
These malaria pills don’t work at all
Been up now for seven days
All my dreams in a purple haze

Unmarked Stones in the burial ground
Unmarked Wheels keep the wagon go ‘round
Casablanca have you heard the news
Fog won’t lift I got the Jet lag Blues.
