The Whale That Swallowed Jonah

Well, the sun is up and a-rising

The wagon's headed west

Now I can't shake that old suspicion

That I settled for second best

I've been frugal at my table

I've been conscious,

I've been blind

Who ever said that 40 acres and a mule

Would ever keep me satisfied?

They say the whale that swallowed

JonahOut in the deep blue

Sometimes

I get that feeling

That same ol' whale swallowed me

They say the whale that swallowed

JonahTo put me through the test

Sometimes

I get that feeling

That I'm different from the rest

Now the sons of tomorrow

Will come to me in time

Life is going by so fast now, baby

I haven't had a chance to change my mind

I feel it in my fingers

I can feel it in my bones

Maybe it's the whale's way of telling me

It's time to get yourself back home

They say the whale that swallowed

JonahOut in the deep blue

Sometimes

I get that feeling

That ol' whale swallowed me

They say the whale that swallowed

JonahTo put me through the test

Sometimes

I get that feeling

That I'm different from the rest

They say the whale that swallowed

JonahNow in the deep blue

Sometimes

I get that feeling

That same ol' whale swallowed me

They say the whale that swallowed

JonahTo put me through the test

Sometimes

I get that feeling

That I'm different from the rest
