Jerry Jeff Walker - Public Domain lyrics

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
