Almond Grove

[Verse 1]

Said goodbye to Miss Jenny, sleeping on a subway grate

Say goodbye to all the ladies, waiting for the tricks to show

Got a hundred dollars, more than I need to score

Got a hundred dollars, just enough to get me home

[Chorus]

Yeah I'm going back home, to the cotton fields

To the almond groves, to the old homestead

See my Ma and Pa, my big brother Jack

Went to Kandahar, but he never come back

[Verse 2]

Kid from Maricopa had no family left

Worked at Port of Oakland, fell in with the narco set

Ended up a junkie, living in my brother's car

Don't shed a tear for me, home ain't so far

[Chorus]

Yeah he didn't come back

[Verse 3]

International boulevard, ladies don't you weep and moan

I've gone to a better place off the dirty streets

Mr Patel, won't you send my ashes home?

Spread 'em in the old family almond grove

[Chorus] x2

Gonna see him now
