(Clark Kent Bridge:
Hey boy I see you sittin' there 
drink your whiskey down
But Bodie Currency ain't of value in my town
So I better see you get on up and go grab your things
Don't you return until the tumbleweed sings...)

(JoJo Bridge:
Hey boy I know you been heckled here and there

but Bodie Currency ain't of value everywhere

When cows go dry

and the Sherrif gets his lonely blues

you might wanna move along 
just like the tumbleweed does)

(Write your own character into the bridge of Bodie's ghost town!)

The goods I?ve grown?I?ve paid 
       A

         A
