Well, goodbye God, going to Bodie am I
going to Bodie, looking for a good time
goodbye good people, you can’t help me anymore
I’m going down for sure
I’m a shoe
and so are you
Well, goodbye God, going to Bodie am I
going to Bodie, looking for a good time
I’d follow you until the end of this Earth
but Bodie comes first
I’m a shoe
and so are you
Well, goodbye God, going to Bodie am I
going to Bodie, looking for a good time
lower down than the roots of a pine tree
don’t waste your prayers on me
I’m a shoe
and so are you

Maybe the best thing David ever did, which makes me extremely sad. A Jews record in all but name, but more direct in its lyricism without losing that indescribable feeling, that beauty and sorrow and lighthearted sarcasm all rolled into one profound set of lyrics that are David Berman. Not to mention the band playing on the record is probably the best Berman ever recorded with. Rest in Peace DCB. jack_thorn16
