Mother's Ring
05:32
|

|
boy is waiting at the crossroads
at high noon
his fingers are itchin cause they know
they'll be shootin soon
man appears just as the sun is in the sky
he says:
now boy don't you let me see the twinkle
of fear in your eye
both men turn and then
they start to take their paces
but not before each getting a good look
at each other's faces
the boy's hands and trembling because
he is shaken
he moves em into position and prays:
don't let me be forsaken
he turns and lets the bullet fly
straight and true down the sights
it catches him in the side
and he feels the bite
man is lying down choking
on dust and blood
dying on the ground
just like a coward should
the boy says nothing
cause he has nothing to say
he just spits;
drops his mother's ring in the dirt
then turns and walks away

Country Girl

little girl in the woods gathering berries
nothing to be scared of cause the woods aint scary
little country girl pretty as could be
sittin in the shade of the evergreen tree
sitting just waitin for dad to come home
daddy went away he left her all alone
yeah he went to fight on the deep blue sea
oh daddy just please dont forget about me
she was wondering:
will he ever come back
will he ever come back to me
will he ever come back
he's the only one I wanna see
will i ever see him again
little girl moved to the big city
forsook the shade of the evergreen tree
didn't fit in with the big skyscrapers
but she still traded her life
for plastic and papers
all the while wondering:
would he ever go back
could ever go back
did he ever go back to that lonely place
would he ever go back
can he recall my face
will i ever see him again
daddy come back yeah back from the war
had just one thing he was looking for
couldn't find the girl pretty as could be
so he rest in the shade of the evergreen tree
sitting just waitin for her to come home
daughter went away she left him all alone
yeah she went to live in the big city
oh honey just please don't forget about me
he was wondering:
will she ever come back
will she ever come back to me
will she ever come back
she's the only one i wanna see
will i ever see her again
woman come back from the big city
she found the shade of the evergreen tree
she sat right down there, right there in the shade
and she was sitting next to her daddy's grave
she was still wondering:
will he ever come back
will he ever come back to me
will he ever come back
he's the only one i wanna see
she'll never see him again

Good Boys

all dogs go to heaven, guess i'll go to hell
cause without you darlin i might as well
maybe it's my fault for letting you out at night
hope you're ok, hope you're doin alright
and if those good boys dont come home again
its not your fault
its just something in the wind they were sniffing
now in my yard there is a hole
matches the one you left in my soul
you're still here in so many ways
i just wish one last time i could see you give chase
and if those good boys dont come home
its not that they dont love you
its just that they were born to roam
so bless all good boys
and good girls too
hold your puppies close and let em know
just what they mean to you
and give em one or two for me too

I Remember You

marceline, is it just you and me in this wreckage of the world?
that must be so confusing for a little girl
and i know you're going to need me here with you
but i'm losing myself and i'm afraid you're gonna lose me too
this magic keeps me alive
but it's making me crazy
and i need to save you
but who's gonna save me?
please forgive me for whatever i do
when i dont remember you
marceline, i can feel myself slipping away
i dont remember what it made me say
but i remember that i saw you frown
i swear it wasn't me, it was the crown
this magic keeps me alive
but it's making me crazy
and i need to save you
but who's gonna save me?
please forgive me for whatever i do
when i dont remember you
please forgive me for whatever i do
when i dont remember you

Orphan

those which i needs most
those arms holding me close
little voices in my ear
promising always to be near
and yet and yet and yet
i dont even care
if you have to go
i dont even care
i dont want to know
you're leaving
gone without a sight
no goodbyes no goodnight
but still but still but still
i dont even care
if you have to go
i dont even care
i dont want to know
you're leaving
but still but still but still
if you want to go
i'll still love you so
if you want to go
i'll already know
you're leaving
