Hour Ten<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moonbeam Coffee<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moonbeam Coffee<\/p>\n

they call it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You know who I\u2019m talkin\u2019 bout,<\/p>\n

them damn hippies who ruined everything.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of these foggy days they might<\/p>\n

end up with a pair of cement shoes<\/p>\n

taking one long step off the end of the dock,<\/p>\n

if ya get my gist.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I rattled \u2018round Nam<\/p>\n

boots, canteen, army greens<\/p>\n

dreamed of comin\u2019 back to these<\/p>\n

cedars and firs, had to<\/p>\n

put my life on a shelf.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then ol\u2019 lazy Sullivan cross the street<\/p>\n

moved down to the coast, hell if he ever served.<\/p>\n

Now his kids come back and make<\/p>\n

his barn the Moonbeam Roastatarium.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So what if I grew some weed<\/p>\n

in my dad\u2019s ol\u2019 barn.<\/p>\n

I paid my dues and guy\u2019s<\/p>\n

gotta get by somehow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now them damn kids are shinin\u2019 a light on me,<\/p>\n

right across the street.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So just hush up when I give them<\/p>\n

a reason to wish they\u2019d stayed in that hippie town<\/p>\n

they call the City of Subdued Excitement<\/p>\n

or some damn thing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll give em\u2019 something to get excited about.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
