lyrics

Verse 1:
O Uncle Rick, gettin down with the sick, just an old school punk for the funk,
Nappy old hair preachin war ain't fair, trampin' west coast after the sun,
Livin' life so wild he's a joke to the mild, seeing days of the world without pain,
Just a Vietnam Vet hopin life ain't spent singin songs in the key of the youth

Break:
La, la, la, la, Uncle Ricky your swags so tricky
La, la, la, la, la, savor all the good that ya got.
La, la, la, la, la, Uncle Ricky your thoughts' so trippy
La, la, la, la, la, this song'll be alive when you're not

Chorus:
Sunshine on a western sky you can see the sparkle in his eye,
Anywhere all over the map he ain't stoppin til the troops come back,
Sunshine on a western sky, or eastern sky, to him he don't mind,
Anywhere all over the map, he ain't stoppin til the troops come back,
Sunshine on a western sky, you can see the sparkle in his eye,
Anywhere all over the map, he ain't stoppin til the troops come back,
Sunshine on a western sky, city lights illuminate the horizon,
Anywhere all over the map, he ain't stoppin til the troops come back.

Verse: 2
One day in he's lookin n' wantin' to find, a common ground for all of us to reside,
Where the green comes free and the parties come heavy, where love don't deceive, but aloud to see plenty
Peace in his mind, in his eyes, in his soul, no matter the path his mind finds to fold,
Could be a long trip for crazy Uncle Rick, but safe travels to ya man if we don't meet before ya split.
