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
