Old Coyote Town by wap |
[00:22.71] |
He's got a U.S. flag on his front porch |
[00:27.15] |
To remind everyone where he lives |
[00:31.89] |
And up in the attic there are papers that prove |
[00:36.65] |
The old house is finally his. |
[00:40.84] |
After thirty-five years the grass still don't grow |
[00:45.63] |
In that rock hard west Texas ground |
[00:50.00] |
Where my old dad still clings to that old coyote town. |
[01:00.94] |
Like horses the pick-ups are parked out in front |
[01:05.63] |
Of a cafe that don't need a name |
[01:09.94] |
Where the old men rock and the tumbleweeds roll |
[01:14.34] |
Past the boarded up windows down Main. |
[01:20.83] |
Waist high weeds hide a for sale sign |
[01:25.44] |
At the drive-in where my innocence died |
[01:29.76] |
With a rusty advertisement, dangling by a nail |
[01:34.40] |
Says Popcorn and Pepsi for a dime. |
[01:38.50] |
And down at the depot where I left for good |
[01:42.95] |
There's a hobo with his three-legged hound |
[01:47.80] |
Waitin' for a train, that no longer comes |
[01:51.88] |
To that old coyote town. |
[01:58.32] |
And the interstate rumbles like a river that runs |
[02:02.69] |
To a rythm that don't ever slow down |
[02:07.35] |
As cars and trucks, and time pass by |
[02:11.78] |
That old coyote town. |
[02:18.34] |
Daddy falls asleep in the living room |
[02:22.45] |
On the sofa with the TV on |
[02:27.63] |
Sometimes he waits for a phone call from me |
[02:31.98] |
Sometimes he waits too long |
[02:36.02] |
But I still think of the people and the place that he loves |
[02:40.61] |
How much longer will they be around |
[02:45.50] |
Till its ashes to ashes, dust to dust |
[02:49.50] |
For that old coyote town. |
[02:55.86] |
Like horses the pick-ups are parked out in front |
[03:00.45] |
Of a cafe that don't need a name |
[03:04.86] |
Where the old men rock and the tumbleweeds roll |
[03:09.25] |
Past the boarded up windows down Main. |
[03:13.43] |
And the interstate rumbles like a river that runs |
[03:17.66] |
To a rythm that don't ever slow down |
[03:22.37] |
As cars and trucks, and time pass by |
[03:26.79] |
That old coyote town. |
[03:33.47] |
God bless that old coyote town... |
