Public Domain Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Bob Livingston/Gary P. Nunn 

Got my irons in the fire down in Texas 

Got a toe hold in Tennessee 

Got my foot in the door of that California Store 

Now I'm up to my ears in me 

Chorus: 

Don't be concerned if the song sounds familiar 

Don't be concerned if it all seems the same 

Just be concerned that your policies will kill you 

It's all just public domain 

I took a bite of the Big Apple 

And I dabbled in that forbidden fruit 

No they promised me points 

And they slipped me skinny joints 

And I've yet to see me any loot 

From that man in the high-heeled Gucci shoes 

Chorus: 

Don't be concerned if the song sounds familiar 

Don't be concerned if it all seems the same 

Just be concerned that your policies will kill you 

It's all just public domain 

I sang in the Red River Valley 

I've drank with the whores in Santa Fe 

Yeah, I ran with the snuff queens in Dallas 

Like I ran from Snow White in L.A. 

Now I've broken all my vows to Demolay 

Chorus: 

Don't be concerned if the song sounds familiar 

Don't be concerned if it all seems the same 

Just be concerned that your policies will kill you 

And it's all just public domain 

It makes sense to get into the rain
