Steve Earle - Marie |
[00:07.89] |
|
[00:29.19] |
I stood in line and left my name |
[00:32.23] |
Took about six hours or so |
[00:35.89] |
Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game |
[00:39.62] |
Said they'd let me know |
[00:41.98] |
|
[00:43.06] |
I put in my time till the Pocono line |
[00:45.72] |
Shut down two years ago |
[00:49.70] |
I was staying at the mission till I met Marie |
[00:53.01] |
Now I can't stay there no more |
[00:56.38] |
|
[01:02.38] |
Fella 'cross town said he's lookin' for a man |
[01:05.51] |
To move some old cars around |
[01:08.69] |
Maybe me and Marie could find a burned-out |
[01:12.53] |
Van and do a little settlin' down |
[01:15.33] |
|
[01:15.63] |
But I'm just dreamin', I ain't got no ride |
[01:20.35] |
And the junkyard's a pretty good ways |
[01:22.76] |
That job's about a half week old besides |
[01:26.55] |
It'd be gone now anyway |
[01:29.74] |
|
[01:35.32] |
Unemployment said I got no more checks |
[01:38.65] |
And they showed me to the hall |
[01:41.86] |
My brother died in Georgia some time ago |
[01:45.22] |
I got no one left to call |
[01:48.46] |
|
[01:49.05] |
Summer wasn't bad below the bridge |
[01:52.57] |
A little short on food that's all |
[01:55.74] |
Now I gotta get Marie some kind of coat |
[01:59.52] |
We're headed down into fall |
[02:02.72] |
|
[02:08.12] |
I used to play the mouth harp pretty good |
[02:11.71] |
Hustled up a little dough |
[02:15.27] |
But I got drunk and I woke up rolled |
[02:18.85] |
A couple of months ago |
[02:21.41] |
|
[02:21.88] |
They got my harp and they got my dollar |
[02:25.64] |
Them low life so and so's |
[02:29.20] |
Harps cost money and I ain't got it |
[02:32.52] |
It's my own fault, I suppose |
[02:35.61] |
|
[02:41.00] |
The Pocono's down but the Chesapeak's runnin' |
[02:44.65] |
Two freights everyday |
[02:48.39] |
If it was just me, I'd be headed south |
[02:51.28] |
But Marie can't catch no train |
[02:54.61] |
|
[02:55.01] |
She's got some pain and she thinks it's a baby |
[02:58.59] |
Says we gotta wait and see |
[03:01.76] |
In my heart I know it's a little boy |
[03:04.90] |
Hope he don't end up like me |
[03:08.52] |
|
[03:13.88] |
Well, the man's still grinnin' says he lost my file |
[03:17.71] |
I gotta stand in line again |
[03:21.39] |
I want to kill him but I just say no |
[03:24.41] |
I had enough of that line my friend |
[03:27.38] |
|
[03:27.92] |
I head back to the bridge, its getting kinda cold |
[03:31.40] |
I'm feelin' too low down to lie |
[03:35.12] |
I guess I'll just tell Marie the truth |
[03:38.19] |
Hope she don't break down and cry |
[03:41.55] |
|
[04:08.04] |
Marie she didn't wake up this morning |
[04:12.67] |
She didn't even try |
[04:15.40] |
She just rolled over and went to Heaven |
[04:18.63] |
My little boy safe inside |
[04:21.49] |
|
[04:21.86] |
I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them |
[04:25.38] |
Caught a Chesapeak on the fly |
[04:29.05] |
Marie will know I'm headed south |
[04:32.31] |
So's to meet me by and by |
[04:35.39] |
|
[04:36.20] |
Marie will know I'm headed south |
[04:39.18] |
So to meet me by and by |
[04:45.65] |
|
