Jonah

Lyrics

Half an hour, change your strings and tune up
 Sizing the room up
 Checking the bar
 Local girls, unspoken conversation
 Misinformation
 Plays guitar
 They say, "Jonah, he was swallowed by a whale"
 But I say there's no truth to that tale
 I know Jonah
 He was swallowed by a song
 ♪
 No one gives their dreams away too lightly
 They hold them tightly
 Warm against cold
 One more year of traveling 'round this circuit
 Then you can work it into gold
 They say, "Jonah, he was swallowed by a whale"
 But I say there's no truth to that tale
 I know Jonah
 He was swallowed by a song
 Here's to all the boys who came along
 Carrying soft guitars in cardboard cases
 All night long
 And do you wonder where those boys have gone?
 
 Do you wonder where those boys have gone?
