Tin Man - Shakey Graves

Once upon your favorite dream

Things were different but familiar

Straw was stickin' outta your seams

Everything was technicolor

Isn’t it sad to be back in black-and-white?

No yellow road, no witch to fight?

Too bad there’s no place like home

You ain’t dead yet

Twenty-seven came and went

Now you live to fight another day

As the hero of the carpool lane

Day by day, if the posted limit you obey

Then the biggest shot in your life

Will be dressed with salt and lime

Once upon a terrible dream

You couldn’t move a muscle

Can’t even pick an apple off of a tree

Without gettin' into trouble

Isn’t it good to be back in black-and-white?

No yellow road, no witch inside?

Thank God there’s no place like home

Scarecrow ain’t got nothin' on me

I’m thinkin', I’m blinkin', I’m blinkin' today

The lion never was cowardly

'Cause I’m shrinkin', I’m shrinkin', I’m shrinkin' away

The tin man ain’t got nothin' on you

Your heart is beatin', beatin' 'cause…

You ain’t dead yet

Twenty-seven came and went

Now you live to fight another day

As the hero of the carpool lane

Day by day, if the posted limit you obey

Then the biggest shot in your life

Will come dressed with salt and lime
