[Verse 1]
He was standin' by the highway
With a sign that just said "Mother"
When he heard a driver comin'
'Bout a half a mile away
So he held the sign up higher
So no decent soul could miss it
It was ten degrees or colder
Down by Boulder Dam that day
[Verse 2]
He was raised up in Milwaukee
Though he never was that famous
He was just a road musician
To the taverns he would go
Singin' songs about the ramblin'
The lovin' girls and gamblin'
How the world fell on his shoulder
Back in Boulder I don't know
[Verse 3]
Well, it was out in Arizona
And he heard the lady listenin'
To each word that he was sayin'
To each line that he would write
So he sat down by her table
And they talked about the weather
Ninety-eight point six and risin'
Down by Boulder Dam that night
He was standin' by the highway
With a sign that just said "Mother"
When he heard a driver comin'
'Bout a half a mile away
So he held the sign up higher
So no decent soul could miss it
It was ten degrees or colder
Down by Boulder Dam that day
[Verse 2]
He was raised up in Milwaukee
Though he never was that famous
He was just a road musician
To the taverns he would go
Singin' songs about the ramblin'
The lovin' girls and gamblin'
How the world fell on his shoulder
Back in Boulder I don't know
[Verse 3]
Well, it was out in Arizona
And he heard the lady listenin'
To each word that he was sayin'
To each line that he would write
So he sat down by her table
And they talked about the weather
Ninety-eight point six and risin'
Down by Boulder Dam that night
