The Allman Brothers Band - Desert Blues lyrics

Can't get no this and I can't get no that
Can't get no you know
I don't even know where it's at
Ain't got the smoke and uh, ain't no booze
Got them low down dried-out desert blues
Yes I do

Uncle George calling, said I had to go
Just what he wanted, I did not know
I'm over here dug in so far from home
Lookin' all around tryin' to
See what's going on

I got the sand in my collar
Got the sand in my hair
Got it in my pockets, got it everywhere
I got sand in my shirt, got it in my shoe
Got them low down dried-out desert blues
Yes I do joined up in the army where
It was hard to find end up over here
Got my young ass on the line


But I'll be right here until my work is done
If I get back home
I hope I never see no more guns

Here across the ocean
I left some of my good friends behind
I hope somebody's thinking about me
Especially that sweet little woman of mine

Can't get no this and I can't get no that
Can't get no you know
I don't even know where it's at
Sand in my collar, got the sand in my hair
Got it in my pockets, got it everywhere
I got sand in my shirt, got it in my shoes
Got them low down, dried-out desert blues
Yes I do
