The Grateful Dead — Pride of Cucamonga Acoustic Demo

We'll try the old "Pride of Cucamonga" again On the edge of an empty highway, howling at the blood on the moon Diesel Mack come rolling down my way, can't hit that border too soon Running hard out of Muskrat Flats, it was sixty days or double life Hail on my back like a shotgun blast, high wind chimes in the night Oh oh, Pride of Cucamonga, oh oh, bitter olives in the sun Oh oh, I had me some lovin', and I done some time Since I came down from Oregon, there's a lesson or two I've learned Standing in the road alone, I'm watching the fires burn The northern sky it stinks with greed, you can smell it for miles around The good old boys in the Greystone Hotel are still doing that git on down Oh oh, Pride of Cucamonga, oh oh, silver apples in the sun Oh oh, I had me some lovin', and I done some time [Instrumental break] I see your silver city'll shine, but I know I can't go there Your streets run deep with poisoned wine, your doorways crawl with fear So I think I'll head for Mexico where the weed grows green and fine Wrap myself around a bush of that bright, whoa, Oaxaca vine Whoa whoa, Pride of Cucamonga, oh oh, silver horse in the sun Oh oh, I had me some lovin', and I done some time Done some time, and I done some time
