Navajo Rug

Well, it's two eggs up, on whiskey toast
Home fries on the side
You wash 'er down with roadhouse coffee
That burns up your insides
It's just a canyon, Colorado diner
A waitress I did love
We sat in the back, 'neath an old stuffed bear
A worn out Navajo rug

Aye, aye, aye, Katie
Shades of red and blue
Aye, aye, aye, Katie
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you?

Well, Old Jack, the boss, he left at six
It was "Katie, bar the door"
She'd pull down that Navajo rug
And we'd spread it 'cross the floor
I saw lightnin' frame the sacred mountains
The movement of the turtle dove
Just lyin' next to Katie
On that old Navajo rug

Aye, aye, aye, Katie
Shades of red and blue
Aye, aye, aye, Katie
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you?

Well, I saw Old Jack about a year ago
Said the place burnt to the ground
All he'd saved was an old bear tooth, and Katie, she left town
"Well Katie got a souvenir too"
Jack smiled as he spit out a big ol' plug
"Well you shoulda seen her, comin' through the smoke
She was draggin' that Navajo rug!"

Aye, aye, aye, Katie
Shades of red and blue
Aye, aye, aye, Katie
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you?

So every time I cross the sacred mountains
Lightning jumps above
It always takes me back in time
To the long lost Katie love
You know everything keeps on moving
Everybody's on the go
And you don't find things that last anymore
Like a handwoven Navajo

Aye, aye, aye, Katie
Shades of red and blue
Aye, aye, aye, Katie
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you, Katie?
Shades of red and blue
Aye, aye, aye, Katie
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you?
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you?
