The Great Pontificator

Piles and piles and piles of pictures Overflowed in boxes in the garage A great war was being waged for the future Of a family soldiers on the march Loading a 27 footer Mothers attic with broken furniture Hell on wheels and 4 teenagers On our way to greener pastures Heading north up from Houston never to return The great pontificator was a hero among men So say goodbye forever To the shadows of where you've been We're on our way to the the evergreen Fields of Washington I ain't ever seen the mountains Flatlands all I'd known Until douglas firs and cold winds Welcomed us into their arms There was a house in New Orleans A ball and chain we'd known But now our fearless leader was on a jailbreak We were on the run Integrity and loyalty are just words to some men But our fearless leader made a home in them Heading north up from Houston never to return The great pontificator was a hero among men So say goodbye forever To the shadows of where you've been We're on our way to the the evergreen Fields of Washington
