Alcatraz Lyrics - Shelter People - Leon Russell

Now lay me down on market street 

Im lookin for some spare change 

A coast guard ship has been lookin for me 

I might have to change the name 

Here comes Uncle Sam again 

With the same old bag of beans 

Local chiefs on the radio 

Hes got some hungry mouths to feed 

Goin back to Alcatraz 

Standing down on the highway 

Of hundred and one ways to go 

Solitary is so confinin 

To the legend of Geronimo

I know how to bring the rain 

I used to dance for ABC 

All the braves down on death row 

Are pretending to be free 

Back home in Alcatraz 

In the land of the great white father 

My American blood runs cold 

From my home in Oklahoma 

To the Everglades, I go 

Its just the wings on the silver cars 

And Im allowed to [Incomprehensible] field 

Not the life for a nineteen seventy 

Indian boy to do 

I'm goin back to Alcatraz 

Lay me on the market street 

Im lookin' for some spare change 

And the coast guard ship's been lookin for me 

And I might have to change the name
