Doug Sahm - Papa Ain't Salty lyrics

Give me a call when yer strung
Out or when you're bored
Been so long and heavy but
Now you think I'm ready
Lean on me, lean on me, give it a try
It won't hurt leave it with the papers and
The capers and the dirt

Had a friend who died today
Got a long distance call
Who knows what or when or how but what
I'd do to see his face now
Lean on me, lean on me, wham bam, Doug Sahm
Get my brains from a garden plant

You ain't got the truth in the line
Stick with the ones who never
Get put out by the fire

I never was one for pictures, yeah
You could hang up on the wall
Start 'em up here in my head
Wait for them to fall
Let's go get wrong, real real gone
Raise a toast to the Polaroid ghost
And let some water fall

You ain't got the truth in the line
Stick with the ones who never
Get put out by the fire
