Supply And Demand Lyrics

Guy Clark

He singin' what is that sound? What is that noise? I cannot figure it out for the life of me boys Is it the coast guard or is it the wind? Is it the mother ship comin' again?
Convicted on charges of supply and demand He was unloadin' the American Dream Caught in the middle of a bigger plan It was a South American scheme
He is no smuggler he is a fisherman All of his debts they're owed to the sea Some call it justice but it just ain't right This ain't live and let live and let be
He singin' what is that sound? What is that noise? I cannot figure it out for the life of me boys Is it the coast guard or is it the wind? Or is it the mother ship comin' again?
Layin' in his cell and thinkin' 'bout Ulysses How he picked up his oar and walked away from the sea Until someone said you ain't from round here, are you? And that's how far away he feels
He thinks of his wife and he thinks of his children And thinks about 'em takin' his boat He thinks about the killer in the bunk below And he's tryin' to keep his hopes afloat
He singin' what is that sound? What is that noise? I cannot figure it out for the life of me boys Is it the coast guard or is it the wind? Is it the mother ship comin' again?
He singin' what is that sound? What is that noise? I cannot figure it out for the life of me boys Is it the coast guard or is it the wind? Is it the mother ship comin' again?
