Smiling girl directing traffic flow,
45 strapped over cotton print dress,
Marimba brown and graceful limbs,
Give me a moment of loneliness
Headlights pick out fallen sack of corn,
One lone tarantula standing guard ,
We pull up and stop and she ambles off,
Discretion much the better part of cars,
Rodrigo the government driver jumps out,
He's got chickens who can use the feed,
We sweep the asphalt on our hands and knees,
Fill up his trunk with dusty yellow seeds
From Bruce Cockburn-Dust and Diesel
On a trip to Nicaragua
One of the many favorites he has written
Humorous to serious back and forth throughout the song!
