Road Of Plenty Lyrics

took a trip through my town

We all were dancin'

till he took his beat away

Come to think of it,

he thought of every last detail

Slipped out late one night

Completely out of sight

Left his message

etched into my brain.

And when the gates are closed

on The Road of Plenty

The fist comes poundin' down

you feel it everyday

It's hard to really know

if you are full or empty

Here it comes again

You think I'm your old friend

But now we're not so easily found.

Me and my old Corvette,

we were flying through the night

Chasin' my blonde lover down skyline

She saw the buck

and her tail lights flashed

to avoid a crash

It was way too late

When I hit the brakes

And we went spinnin'

with a screeching sound.

I was talkin' to my friend,Neil Young - Road Of Plenty - http://motolyrics.com/neil-young/road-of-plenty-lyrics.html

tellin' him I lucked out

He smiled at me and said

I'm glad you feel that way

And when I wrote that down

on a piece of paper

Beneath a garbage heap

Down upon the street

A Mariachi band began to play.

Up in the gold hotel,

the money hits the table

The heavies are all there,

that's why the deal goes down

With beautiful women

all dressed in diamonds and sable

Down upon the street

Beside a garbage heap

A Mariachi band began to play.

In Eldorado town

there lives a great bullfighter

His eyes are screamin' blue,

his hair is red as blood

And when the gate goes up,

the crowd gets so excited

Then he comes dancin' out

Dressed in gold lame'

He kills the bull

and lives another day.
