Not So Far To Go Lyrics - Slingshot Professionals - Kelly Joe Phelps

Ginger had dyed her hair red to fit her name 

Burny pocked his arms with a pack of Camel Lights 

Long sleeves outdoors to keep the kids from crying 

And Ginger climbed the high wire just to make them cheer 

Trapeze float in a buttercup parade 

With clowns and plastic parachutes, three red, the same 

Clutched arms and fire dropped in a bar in New York city 

It's not so far to go, oh, it's not so far to go to find trouble 

Bus rattles downstairs, downtown flying 

With a green seat empty and a window cracked 

Sleeping Johnny snores, dreaming oceans and whores 

All the while gluing tile on basement doors 

He's Burny Arms brother, Ginger's other mate 

Oh, it's too late to tap the till, money's gone 

Arm holes and long locks, a house with nothing in it 

Hmm, it's not so far to go to find trouble, ooh 

The Lord, it's not so far to go to find trouble 

Thousand mile handhold might keep the party still 

If the holes heal well and the hair stays red 

We'll climb another roof top and scare the crooks away 

A gypsy and a singer in the bone yard 

Yeah, walking the moonlight, losing the sign 

Oh, sleeping Johnny wakes, doesn't know where he is 

Bus stop in upstate, a bar in New York City 

It's not so far to go, it's not so far to go, Lord, it's not so far 

Yeah, I don't know, it's not so far to go to find trouble, no
