Sitting on a train heading home after a show
Feeling kinda tired got nowhere else to go
Minding my own business coffee tasting good
Needed it in case I fell asleep for I most surely would
Standing up ahead of time getting ready to get off
When along comes a crowd of guys being raucous, having a laugh
One of them decides to ask me what is in my case
"You don't wanna know" was my reply - you shoulda seen his face
He said - "i don't care anyway it must be worth a bit"
Just open up the case and let me see in it
All he saw was a 3d jigsaw of something that used to be
He had no way of knowing what it was that he could see
So I walked right off the train started looking for a cab
Still got a few old miles to go my legs would never last
Jumped into that taxi and the driver said hello
Told him where i was heading, but he didn't want to know
He kept on asking questions, about what's in the case
"You don't wanna know" was my reply - you shoulda seen his face
He said- "the way you're hanging on to it - must be worth a buck or two"
So why don't you just open it let me have a view
So i opened up the case to let him have an eye
He had to brake real hard he nearly let my house go by
All he saw was a 3d jigsaw of something that used to be
He had no way of knowing what it was that he could see
What was sitting in the case was all that I possessed
Don't mean much to anyone as far as I could guess
It just looked like a bunch of clothes worth nothing anyways
But underneath was my old guitar that had seen much better days
It sure looked like a 3d jigsaw all wires and wood in bits
To me it was old faithful - I could never part with it
Thanks for the ride
Keep the change
Goodnight
