Verse 3

It was daybreak way out on the levee

Iggy is playing washtub in three-quarter time

Down by the river I heard some clawhammer banjo

Me and Jesus went fishing

What does it matter the Bayou or El Paso

“I'll pay the tab” said the Nazarene

High as a fruit bat in Napa Valley

With Iggy and Jesus in New Orleans

Was it purgatory, was it Checkpoint Charlie's

I decided I was staying forever

That ol' morning sun maybe it was voodoo

I woke up to the whistling southbound train
