Happy Birthday Woody Guthrie

Happy birthday Woody Guthrie
I've been singing all your songs
Been following your foot steps
Down the dusty road alone

And I've met all your family
At least the ones that'd let me close
Happy birthday Woody Guthrie
[??]

Happy birthday Woody Guthrie
I think you're as cool as cool can be
And after all this time we still need ya can't you see
Things are so much different
Things are so much the same
Happy birthday Woody Guthrie
I think you'd be ashamed

Happy birthday Woody Guthrie
You still showing us the way
Singing all the things that everyone was scared to say
And you took up for the farmers
And the migrant workers too
Happy birthday Woody Guthrie
I wish I could be like you

On your hundredth birthday
I sat down with your daughter Nora
And she spoke to me like you would
And her eyes looked just like yours
She's teaching me philosophies and things I already knew
She said "no you don't, but I could tell you, just what G should do"
She said "give your standing [??] to the garbage man that goes
To the mother and the teacher
To the cabby on the road
Cause you're no more important son
Than anyone in this town
Cause it takes everyone to make the world go round"

Someday Woody Guthrie
I hope that we can make you proud
