Do-Re-Mi - Tom Rush

Lot of folks back east say leave home most every day

Hitting the hard old dusty trail to the California line

Well across the desert sands they rode

Getting out out of the old dust bowl

Think they’re going to a sugar bowl here’s what they find

For the police at the port of entry say

Your number 14, 000 for the day

Well if you ain’t got the do re me boys

You ain’t got the do re me

Well you better go back to beautiful Texas

Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee

California’s a garden of eden

It’s paradise to live and see

But believe it or not you won’t find it so hot

If you ain’t got the do re me

Now if you want to buy a home or farm

That can’t do nobody harm

Take your vacation by the mountains or the sea

But you better not swap your cow for car

Better stay right where you are

Better take this little tip from me

Cause I look thru the want ads every day

And the headlines on the paper always say

Well if you ain’t got the do re me boys

You ain’t got the do re me

Well you better go back to beautiful Texas

Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee

California’s a garden of eden

It’s paradise for you and for me

But believe it or not you won’t find it so hot

If you ain’t got the do re me
