arlo guthrie
Son of legendary Woody Guthrie, Arlo has founded his own career in the periphery of roots music. His early albums are a funny mix of own material and selected standards, ballads and acid-scented rock music ... and including at least *one* of his dad's songs, *one* instrumental and often one kicking Dylan's ass. Though indeed very different, those two have remained best friends and colleges up through the years. This one is from the 1969 album "Running Down the Road".
coming from London from over the pole
riding on a big air liner
chickens flying everywhere around the plane
never did I feel much finer
coming into Los Angeles • bringing in a couple of keys
don't touch my bags if you please Mr. Custom's man
there's a man with a ticket to Mexico
you know he couldn't look much stranger
standing in the hall with his bags and all
smiling said he was the lone ranger
coming into Los Angeles • bringing in a couple of keys
don't touch my bags if you please Mr. Custom's man
there's a hip woman walking down the moving stairs
she's tripping on the escalator
there's a guy in the line and he's blowing his mind
he's thinking that he's already made her
coming into Los Angeles • bringing in a couple of keys
don't touch my bags if you please Mr. Custom's man
