EmYou See Alan Delaney Pushed A Steering Wheel
EmUp And Down The West Coast
EmThat Is Until The Local Four Nineteen Moved In
EmBaaad Buncha Pirates

EmSeein's How Alan Owned His Own Rig
EmThey Talked To Him About Carrying These Little Bundles
EmFrom San Francisco To Vancouver
EmWell He Knew They Wouldn't Take No For An Answer
EmSo He Decided It Was Time To Relocate
EmWaaay Up In The Interior Of British Columbia

EmWell They Coaxed That Old Chrysler Three More Miles
EmAnd They Drifted Into Mont Branch(?) At Ten
EmUnpacked The Kids Fourteen Bags Of Groceries
EmAnd Gently Carried Mary Jane In

EmAnd She Agreed That When He Came Home That Night She'd Tell Him
EmBut Just As It's Written
EmWhen One Door Opens Another Closes

EmHe Had Chosen The Hard Way To The Valley Floor
EmAnd As Those Cedars Ricochetted Off The Reo's Fenders
EmHe Took A Breath And Crossed Himself And Thought Of Her Once More
