Well, the sun is up and a-rising
The wagon's headed west
Now I can't shake that old suspicion
That I settled for second best
I've been frugal at my table
I've been conscious, I've been blind
Who ever said that 40 acres and a mule
Would ever keep me satisfied?
They say the whale that swallowed Jonah
Out in the deep blue
Sometimes I get that feeling
That same ol' whale swallowed me
They say the whale that swallowed Jonah
To put me through the test
Sometimes I get that feeling
That I'm different from the rest
Now the sons of tomorrow
Will come to me in time
Life is going by so fast now, baby
I haven't had a chance to change my mind
I feel it in my fingers
I can feel it in my bones
Maybe it's the whale's way of telling me
It's time to get yourself back home
The wagon's headed west
Now I can't shake that old suspicion
That I settled for second best
I've been frugal at my table
