The End
(专辑: Jacksonville City Nights - 2005)
I
don't know the
sound of my father's voice I
don't even know how he says my name But it plays out like a
song on a
jukebox in a
bar In the
back of my head till it's weary and mushy And in the
cotton fields out by the
house where I
was born The
leaves burn like effigies of my kin The
trains run like snakes through Penacostal pine Filled up with cotton and fine slow gin Oh Jacksonville, how you burn in my soul How you hold all my dreams captive Jacksonville, how you play with my mind Oh my heart goes back, suffocating on the
pines In Jacksonville The
End, The
End, The
End All the
cars are lined up on a
Saturday night With the
sky full of nothing but moon And I
lose my reflection in the
bottles of wine Till the
morning comes down and I
ain't nothing but you Now the
diner in the
morning for a
plate of eggs The
waitress tries to give me change I
say, "Nah, it's cool. Just keep it" I
read up my news, I
start thinking about her And I
wonder if anybody here besides me has got any decent secrets Oh Jacksonville, how you burn in my soul How you hold all my dreams captive Jackson-hell, how you play with my mind Oh my heart goes back, suffocating on the
pines In Jacksonville The
End, The
End, The
End
