Verse 1.sa
G F Amoi
Well it's two eggs up on whiskey toast * And home fries on the side
FWash it down with the truck coffee * Dm7Burns up your inGsides
Just a CFanyon-Colorado Diner * And a waDmitress I did love
We sFat in the back 'neath an old stuffed bear
G (stop)
On a worn out Navajo rug
Verse 2.
Well Old JFack, the boss, he closed at six * And it was DmKatie bar the door
She'd pull down that Navajo Dm7rug * And she'd sGpread it 'cross the floor
Hey, I saw liFghtning in the sacred mountains
Saw tDmhe dance of turtle doves * Fsittin' next to Katie
On tGhat old Navajo rug
(Chorus)
GAye, Aye, AFye, KDmatie * SFhades of red and bGlue
Aye, Aye, AFye, KDmatie * WFhatever became of the Navajo rug and yFou
DmKatie, sFhades of red and bGlue
Verse 3.
Well I saw old Jack about a year ago
He said the place burned to the ground
And all I saved was an old bear tooth
And Katie, she'd left town
Ah, but Katie, she got her souvenir too
Jack spat a tobacco plug
Well you should have seen her a-coming through the smoke
Draggin' that Navajo rug
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 4.
Now every time I cross those sacred mountains
And lightning breaks from above
It always takes me back in time
To my long lost Katie love
But everything keeps on a-movin'
Yeah, an' everybody's on the go
You don't find things that last anymore
Like an old woven Navajo
(Repeat Chorus twice and fade)
