The Whale That Swallowed Jonah Lyrics

Well the sun is up and a-rising
And 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 conscience, I've been blind
Well I said that forty acres and a mule
Would ever keep me satisfied

They say the whale that swallowed Jonah
Out in the deep blue sea
Sometimes I get that feeling
That same 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

Now the songs of tomorrow
Come to me in time
Life is going by so fast now baby
I hadn′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

They say the whale that swallowed Jonah
Out in the deep blue sea
Sometimes I get that feeling
That same 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

They say the whale that swallowed Jonah
Out in the deep blue sea
Sometimes I get that feeling
That same 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
