Neil Young, Crazy Horse - Mideast Vacation lyrics
[Neil Young, Crazy Horse - Mideast Vacation lyrics]
I used to watch Highway Patrol
Whittlin' with my knife
But the thought never struck me I'd
Be black and white for life
I was raised on law and order
In a community of strife
Became a restless boarder and I
Never took a wife
I went looking for Kadafy
Aboard Air Force One
But I never did find him and the CIA said
"Son you'll never be a hero
Your flyin' days are done
It's time for you to go home now
Stop sniffing that smoking gun"
I was travelin' with my family in
The Mideast late one night
In the hotel all was quiet
The kids were out like little lights
Then the street was filled with Jeeps
There was an explosion to the right
They chanted "Death to America"
I was feelin' like a fight
So I ran downstairs and out into the street
Someone kicked me in the belly
Someone else kissed my feet
I was Rambo in the disco
I was shootin' to the beat
When they burned me in effigy
My vacation was complete
Whittlin' with my knife
But the thought never struck me I'd
Be black and white for life
I was raised on law and order
In a community of strife
Became a restless boarder and I
Never took a wife
I went looking for Kadafy
Aboard Air Force One
But I never did find him and the CIA said
"Son you'll never be a hero
Your flyin' days are done
It's time for you to go home now
Stop sniffing that smoking gun"
I was travelin' with my family in
The Mideast late one night
In the hotel all was quiet
The kids were out like little lights
Then the street was filled with Jeeps
There was an explosion to the right
They chanted "Death to America"
I was feelin' like a fight
So I ran downstairs and out into the street
Someone kicked me in the belly
Someone else kissed my feet
I was Rambo in the disco
I was shootin' to the beat
When they burned me in effigy
My vacation was complete
