A Land Called Way Out There

Tom Russell: A Land Called Way Out There

come look outside
my window, mama
something wicked
this way comes
the carnival
is breaking ground
with its roustabouts and bums
and the hoochie-koochie
dancing girls
with sawdust in their hair
and the band played
John Phillip Sousa
in a land called “way out there”
