Lyrics: John Dawson
Music: John Dawson
A New Riders of the Purple Sage song that seems to have been played only rarely.
The title looks to me like a more recent invention - it appears on most setlists as "Big Dog".
Well, I'm your mainline, baby
Send your side track away
I'm your mainline, baby
Send your side track away
You don't need him any longer, baby
'Cause your main line's here to stay
Well, I'm your big dog, baby
Let your little doggies go
Yeah, I'm your big dog, baby
Let your little doggies go
'Cause those little dogs are just looking, baby
For what I already know
Honey, now you won't miss your water
Your well won't run dry
'Cause I've been just as lonely now
And I won't say goodbye
Well, I want all your peaches
That's why I'm shaking at your tree
I want all your peaches
That's why I'm shaking at your tree
I'm gonna hand around your orchard, baby
Until you give some to me
Well, I'm your mainline, baby
Send your side track away
Yeah, I'm your mainline, baby
Send your side track away
You don't need him any longer, baby
'Cause your main line's here to stay
You don't need him any longer, baby
'Cause your main line's here to stay
