Well a great black river a man had found |
| [00:21.64] |
So he put all his money in a hole in the ground |
| [00:25.39] |
And sent a big steel arm drivin down down down |
| [00:32.45] |
Man now I live on the streets of houston town |
| [00:44.70] |
Packed up my wife and kids when winter came along |
| [00:48.52] |
And we headed down south with just spit and a song |
| [00:52.47] |
But they said sorry son its gone gone gone |
| [00:57.65] |
|
| [01:07.52] |
Well theres men hunkered down by the railroad tracks |
| [01:11.83] |
The elkhorn special blowin my hair back |
| [01:15.33] |
Tents pitched on the highway in the dirty moonlight |
| [01:19.27] |
And I dont know where Im gonna sleep tonight |
| [01:37.58] |
Parked in the lumberyard freezin our asses off |
| [01:41.83] |
My kids in the back seat got a graveyard cough |
| [01:45.57] |
Well Im sleepin up in front with my wife |
| [01:49.33] |
Billy club tappin on the windshield in the middle of the night |
| [01:52.77] |
Says move along man move along |
| [02:00.52] |
Well big limousine long shiny and black |
| [02:04.45] |
You dont look ahead you dont look back |
| [02:11.75] |
How many times can you get up after youve been hit? |
| [02:15.38] |
Well I swear if I could spare the spit |
| [02:20.12] |
Id lay one on your shiny chrome |
| [02:23.37] |
And send you on your way back home |
| [02:27.29] |
|
| [02:41.44] |
So if youre gonna leave your town where the north wind blow |
| [02:46.00] |
To go on down where that sweet soda river flow |
| [02:49.38] |
Well you better think twice on it jack |
| [02:53.13] |
Youre better off buyin a shotgun dead off the rack |
| [02:57.38] |
You aint gonna find nothin down here friend |
| [03:01.19] |
Except seeds blowin up the highway in the south wind |
| [03:08.33] |
Movin on movin on its gone gone its all gone |
