  Than when the man took his couch away
Well, yeah he broke the law but not much more than you or me
In this land of the rich where only homeless men are free

    C        Am         D     D
It seems to me awful strange

Harmonica Intro

Now Jimmy Carter was an honest man
With a Congress that didn't give a damn
They said the first won't be last, we'll have the first stones to cast
With their smiles made of plastic and their houses made of glass

It seems to me awful strange
There's no room for the honest cause the wicked pave the way
Man that's a sweet...a sweet alibi
That's a sweet...sweet alibi, yeah, yeah

Harmonica Verse x4
Harmonica Intro

I'm not tryin' tell you how it ought to be
What's probably good for you is not so good for me
But if you ever want to see your dreams come to pass
Man, you got to speak your mind and tell the rest to kiss your ass

It seems to me awful strange
When there's no room for the honest cause the wicked pave the way
Man that's a sweet...a sweet alibi
That's a sweet...sweet alibi, yeah
Oh that's a sweeeeet alibi...
That's a sweet, sweet...sweet alibi
