[Verse 1:] Well the sun is up and 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? [Guitar] [Chorus:] They say the whale that swallowed Jonah Now (Out?) in the deep blue Sometimes I get that feeling That same ol' whale swallowed me They say the whale that swallowed Jonah To put me through the test Sometimes I get that feeling That I'm different from the rest [Verse 2:] 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 [Guitar] [Chorus:] They say the whale that swallowed Jonah Now in the deep blue Sometimes I get that feeling That ol' whale swallowed me They say the whale that swallowed Jonah To put me through the test Sometimes I get that feeling That I'm different from the rest [Solo] [Chorus:] They say the whale that swallowed Jonah Now in the deep blue Sometimes I get that feeling That same ol' whale swallowed me They say the whale that swallowed Jonah To put me through the test Sometimes I get that feeling That I'm different from the rest
