Mockingbird Lyrics
Well, I should be in Crystal City, with HR drinking coffee
Down at Bee�s Golden Bull, absorbing what he offers me
Clinging fast to every word, a scripture for life in immortals terms
A shout able story, spoken in very soft tones.
That�s alright now Momma, it�s just the miles I swear
Please don�t stop your letters and your prayers
That�s alright now Momma, don�t you cry for me,
I�m that mockingbird who is singing in your tree
Well I remember the words that Toby said, when we visited the spot where they lay Joel to rest
Out in the rocks and dirt of that brown cemetery,
He said, I�ve dealt with droughts since my very first breath and I�ll be damned if I�ll do it in death
When I die I wanna be buried where the grass is green
That�s alright now Momma, it�s just the miles I swear
Please don�t stop your letters and your prayers
That�s alright now Momma, don�t you cry for me,
I�m that mockingbird who is singing in your tree
God Bless me Mary Guadalupe, from your bath-tub shrine
It�s been so long since my last confession, I don�t know if we�ve time
Maybe if I drive by each day and shout five confessions as I pass each way
In thirty years or so maybe we�ll be catching up
That�s alright now Momma, it�s just the miles I swear
I am living off of your letters and your prayers
Don�t you toss and turn while napping, your boy�s out here trying to make it happen
I just get a little worried sometimes over bigger things
That�s alright now Momma, don�t you weep for me,
I�m that mockingbird who is singing in your tree
Well, I should be in Crystal City
