somebody turned on the light

Singer:guthrie, arlo

i've been to wild montana

i went there in a storm

my boots were texas leather

my levis wet and torn

i loved it in montana

loved it in the storm

i think i'm gonna cross that river

i just might be reborn

new york

new york - winter

'61

takin' me a city ride

somebody tall musta put out the lights

'cause it got real dark outside

and i never saw the sun till '71

but i never gave up the fight

i sure was glad when i saw the dawn

somebody

somebody turned on the light

somebody turned on the light

women

wine and fast red cars

and i couldn't see to read the signs

somebody said whose life is this?"
