Navajo Rug

Well, it's two eggs up on whiskey toast

Home fries on the side

Wash it down with the roadhouse coffee

Burns up your insides

It's just a canyon Colorado diner

And a waitress I did love

I sat in the back 'neath an old stuffed bear

And a worn out Navajo rug

Now, Old Jack, the boss, he left at six

Then it's Katie, bar the door

As she pulled down that Navajo rug

And she spread it 'cross the floor

Hey, I saw lightnin' cross the sacred mountains

Saw the woven turtle doves

When I was 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?

Katie

Shades of red and blue

Well I saw Old Jack about a year ago

He said the place burned to the ground

And all I saved was this old bear tooth

And Katie, she's left town

Oh, but Katie, she got her souvenir too

Jack spat a tobacco plug

Well, you should have seen her comin' through the smoke

A-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

And lightnin' breaks above

It always takes me back in time

To my long lost Katie love

But everything keeps on movin'

Everybody's on the go

Hey, you don't find things that last anymore

Like an old woven 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?

Katie

Shades of red and blue

Aye, aye, aye, Katie
