ONE TOKE OVER THE LINE
As recorded by Brewer & Shipley on "Tarkio Road" (1970)

CHORUS: One toke over the line, sweet Jesus,
One toke over the line,
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line,
Waitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary,
Hopin' that the train is on time,
Sittin' downtown in a railway station,
One toke over the line.

1. Who do you love? I hope it's me.
I've been a-changin', as you can plainly see.
I felt the joy and I learned about the pain that my momma said.
If I should choose to make a part of me will surely strike me dead.

And now I'm--CHORUS

2. I sail away a country mile,
And now I'm returnin' and showin' off my smile.
I met all the girls and I loved myself a few,
And to my surprise,
Like everything else that I've been through,
It opened up my eyes.

And now I'm--CHORUS

[The following verse is not from the above album, but appears in an "in concert" recording:]

3. I was born to give and take,
And as I keep growin', I'm gonna make some mistakes.
The sun's gonna set and the bird is gonna wing; they do not lie.
My last wish will be just one thing:
Be smilin' when I die.

I wanna be--CHORUS
