Body:	Last summer was spent living like gypsies for myself and a few friends. We were camped out in the middle of nowhere...barely any money and not much else to do but listen to music and pick around a little bit. Josh Walker had a bunch of Jerry Jeff's songs burned onto a couple of cd's that we listened to repeatedly. This song is the one that stuck out the most to me. Sort of sums up the summer...and the next several months fllowing that summer. Love comes and goes sometimes, I guess, but hopefully someone up north has something of us that she'll hold onto forever...even if I never know. Navajo Rug by Jerry Jeff Walker Well it's 2 eggs up on whiskey toast and home fries on the side Wash it down with roadhouse coffee Man it burns up your insides It was a canyon Colorado diner and a waitress I did love she'd sit beside me 'neath an old stuffed bear on a worn out navajo rug Aye aye aye, Katie Shades of red and blue Aye aye aye, Katie Whatever became of the navajo rug and you Old Jack the boss he'd leave about 6 and it's Katie bar the door she'd pull down that navajo rug and spread it 'cross the floor I saw lightning across the sacred mountains the wooing of a turtle dove lyin' next to Katie on that old navajo rug Aye aye aye, Katie Shades of red and blue Aye aye aye, Katie Whatever became of the navajo rug and you I saw old Jack about a year ago he said the place burned to the ground but as for my Katie dear she'd done gone and left town Oh but old Katie got her souvenir, Jack said and he spit out a big old plug You shoulda seen her runnin' through the smoke she was draggin' that navajo rug Aye aye aye, Katie Shades of red and blue Aye aye aye, Katie Whatever became of the navajo rug and you So every time a cross the Sacred Mountains and lightning breaks above it takes me back to a simpler time with my long lost Katie love But everything keeps on moving seems like the whole world's on the go they don't make things that last anymore like a hand-woven navajo Aye aye aye, Katie Shades of red and blue Aye aye aye, Katie Whatever became of the navajo rug and you, Katie Shades of red and blue Aye aye aye, Katie Whatever became of the navajo rug and you ...whatever became of the navajo rug and you
