Work Was Through

(album: Coast - 2013)

[Shane Smith:]
Well this southern wind sings to me
Like a shiner band parade
Like an old flipped over six string
For some lefty they call Cobain

[Aaron Watson:]
And the man in black right down to his shoes
Fell in love with June
And the roaring of the inmates
As he sang Cocaine Blues

[Shane Smith:]
Where did they go, I know where to
You think they knew or had no clue
You think I told them boys "You've done everything I needed you to do"
You think they had done something wrong, they even wrote it in their songs
You think they thought it took too long for them to pay their dues
When their work was through

[Aaron Watson:]
And two birds fell down in Tennessee
Patsy Cline and Mr. Reeves
And Four Walls still plays at the Broken Spoke
Where Bob Wills is still the king

[Shane Smith:]
And the fire flies high from the strat guitar lying down in Jimi's knees
And it's put out by a Texas Flood as Mr. Vaughan begins to sing

[Shane Smith:]
Where did they go, I know where to
You think they knew or had no clue
You think I told them boys "You've done everything I needed you to do"
You think they had done something wrong, they even wrote it in their songs
You think they thought it took too long for them to pay their dues
When their work was through

[Shane Smith & Aaron Watson:]
Where did they go, I know where to
You think they knew or had no clue
You think I told them boys "You've done everything I needed you to do"
You think they had done something wrong, they even wrote it in their songs
You think they thought it took too long for them to pay their dues
When their work was through
