I left my home on the salt east coast when the job market gave up the ghost I got some work up in Ottawa drawing boats with the navy folks That burned out and I did too California seemed the thing to do Me and Ray hopped in his car and we headed down south dreaming Dreaming about Babes on Waves When we got down there the sun was hot the sky was blue and I was not Once again I was doing my thing drawing boats and trying to sing But every day that came and went got me concerned at how my time was spent I could take the heat and sand but I longed to see Newfoundland Longed to taste Fish 'n Chips Hey Jim, life is grim, living on the Pacific Rim Volcanos heave up their guts from Anchorage to the Philippine huts You see with me it's either feast or famine One minute I'm crying the next I'm laughing And I don't care if the earth should quake as long as I can make my escape Long as I skedaddle I finally got tired of laying around and hanging out in bars and painting the town An agent called me with his song of wind would I like to work back east again It seemed New Brunswick was the Promised Land with lots of fun and cash on hand But working there got to be a drag because my lungs would ache with every breath I'd take It poured out thick in Big Smelly I felt sick in Big Smelly Don't get me wrong or mistake this song the west ain't bad it's just not home And I'm no dog that can't do tricks I even learned to eat with sticks Chinese food and Taiwan clothes Japanese lumber boats Roots and shoots from the orient and we're playing games in the market place Say can you name that vegetable Say can you name that vegetable
