Lyrics

[Verse 1] Half an hour, change your strings and tune up Sizing the room up, checking the bar Local girls, unspoken conversation Misinformation plays guitar [Chorus] They say Jonah, he was swallowed by a whale But I say there's no truth to that tale I know Jonah, he was swallowed by a song [Verse 2] No one gives their dreams away too lightly They hold them tightly, warm against cold One more year of traveling 'round this circuit Then you can work it into gold [Chorus] They say Jonah, he was swallowed by a whale But I say there's no truth to that tale I know Jonah, he was swallowed by a song [Verse 3] Here's to all the boys who came along Carrying soft guitars in cardboard cases all night long And do you wonder where those boys have gone? Do you wonder where those boys have gone?
