Tin Roof Shack

Lyrics: Peter Rowan
Music: Peter Rowan

Played by Phil Lesh and Friends in 2013. Thanks to Stu Pollack for help with the lyrics.

I'm sitting on the porch of my tin roof shack by the highway
Sitting on the porch of my tin roof shack by the highway
I'm sitting on the porch of my tin roof shack
If you want to see rock city, baby, look out back
Sitting on the porch of my tin roof shack by the highway

There's a billboard bigger than my tin roof shack by the highway
There's a billboard bigger than my tin roof shack by the highway
There's a billboard bigger than my tin roof shack
You want to see rock city, baby, look out back
Sitting on the porch of my tin roof shack by the highway

Turkey buzzard up in a mesquite tree by the highway
Turkey buzzard up in a mesquite tree by the highway
Turkey buzzard up in a mesquite tree
Hungry way he's eyeballin' me
Sitting on the porch of my tin roof shack by the highway

I'm sitting on the porch of my tin roof shack by the highway
Sitting on the porch of my tin roof shack by the highway
Sitting on the porch of my tin roof shack
You want to see rock city, baby, look out back
Sitting on the porch of my tin roof shack by the highway
