Shakey Graves - Tin Man Lyrics
Once upon your favorite dream
Things were different but familiar
Straw was stickin' out your seat
Everything was technicolor
Isn't it sad to be back in black-and-white?
Too bad there's no place like home
You ain't dead yet
Twenty-seven came and went
Now you live to fight another day
As the hero of the carpool lane
Day by day, if the posted limit you obey
Then the biggest shot in your life
Will be dressed with salt and lime
You couldn't move a muscle
Can't even pick an apple off of a tree
Without gettin' into trouble
Isn't it good to be back in black-and-white?
No yellow road, no witch inside?
Thank God there's no place like home
Scarcrow ain't got nothin' on me
I'm thinkin', I'm blinkin', I'm blinkin' today
The lie never was cowardly
'Cause I'm shrinkin', I'm shrinkin', I'm shrinkin' away
The tin man ain't got nothin' on you
Your heart is beatin', beatin' 'cause...
You ain't dead yet
Twenty-seven came and went
Now you live to fight another day
As the hero of the carpool lane
Day by day, if the posted limit you obey
Then the biggest shot in your life
Will come dressed with salt and lime

If you listen during the instrumental break there’s a little xylophone noise that plays the melody of “we’re off to see the wizard” from wizard of oz!!!

Thanks for posting the lyrics. I think Azlyrics might have got one wrong in the fourth verse. "Lie" should be replaced with "Lion" because it makes more sense within the context of Oz.
I'm flying one-way across an ocean in seven days, and turning 28 in a month.
This one is speaking to me.
I love what Shakey is doing with his music its so beautiful always!!
I was the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz at my elementary school play eight years ago. Coincidence? I think not, this song was definitely written for me :)
