or the ax to my family tree.

The rag time girl gets groovin’

(Clark Kent Bridge:
Hey boy I see you sittin' there
drink your whiskey down
But Bodie Currency ain't of value in my town
So I better see you get on up and go grab your things
Don't you return until the tumbleweed sings...)
(JoJo Bridge:
Hey boy I know you been heckled here and there
but Bodie Currency ain't of value everywhere
When cows go dry
and the Sherrif gets his lonely blues
you might wanna move along just like the tumbleweed does)
(Write your own character into the bridge of Bodie's ghost town!)
