Nobody Knew His Name
(专辑: Terms Of My Surrender - 2014)
Well a
man in a
Cadillac used to come around here Looking for a
long black train Said his baby left town with an Engineer Cut across the
midnight rain, boys Straight across the
midnight rain Now everybody said he'd been in Vietnam When he was pretty young That's when buddy got killed when his rifle jammed Now the
fighting ain't never done, boys Now the
fighting ain't never done. Red tip while the
cigarette glowing Windows up against the
rain Night so dark, there was nothing else showing Nobody knew his name, boys Nobody knew his name Sheriff run him off once in a
while But he would be right back With a
cup of coffee, an old newspaper Sitting by the
side of the
tracks, boys Crying by the
side of the
tracks He'd try to keep from turning the
tables Hired walking horses out at Suffolk Downs But there was always some whiskey back at the
stables If you knew where to look around, boys If you knew where to look around. Red tip of a
cigarette glowing Windows up against the
rain Night so dark, there was nothing else showing But nobody knew his name, boys Nobody knew his name Slinging Pizza and Beer Down at Waterfront Park Handicapping dogs for the
clientèle A
different pick for each one Yeah, it didn't matter who won Somebody gonna tip him well, boys Somebody gonna tip him well Well they found him in his Cadillac car Out behind the
old farm store He was sitting there like we was going somewhere And he wasn't coming back no more, boys He wasn't coming back no more
