Dave Foreman Walks the Line

new lyrics by Robert Parker

music: "I Walk the Line" by Johnny Cash

Well (B7) Dave Foreman was a friend of (E) mine

He founded (B7) Earth First! once upon a (E) time

To fight those (A) desert raping eco-(E) swine

In canyons (B7) deep and mountains (E) high

Well Dave Foreman saw those power lines

He kept his eyes upon them all the time

He had the cash to knock them from the sky

He gave it to the FBI

Well Dave Foreman liked that virus AIDS

Thought it would save coyotes and the sage

This threw more than a few into a rage

They burned his flag up on the stage

Well Dave Foreman may be spending time in jail

And from time to time he'll look out from his cell

Onto that Arizona eco-hell

Words of advise to us he'll tell

Keep your butt out of the public eye

Work alone or with a close friend at your side

Don't give your money to the FBI

And you may down those power lines
