"Down In The Churchyard" lyrics
"Down In The Churchyard"
There's a man, a tall man, follows no one
Out in the storm, can he stay warm, all the things that he's done
Oh, the city lights are such pretty lights
Get a move on, tell him it's alright
Sing a song and say that it's alright, say it's alright
There is a man, a crippled man, is he a soldier?
Can his new wife live out her life the way he told her?
Oh, I see the light, I see it burnin' bright
[?] tell him it's alright
Shake your fist and tell him it's alright, say it's alright
Where you have been is not a sin, it's where you're goin'
Hurt anyone by what you've done and it starts showin'
Oh, but you can't complain about the wind and the rain
You're gonna gather in the churchyard just the same
Your water won't ever wash away the stainy, if you remain
Writer(s): Gram Parsons, Christopher Hillman

An empty bottle, a broken heart and you're still on my...

Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of Mexico

Son Volt - "Windfall" Now and then it keeps you running
It never seems to die
The trail's spent with fear
Not enough living on the outside
Never seem to get far enough
Staying in between the lines
Hold on to what you...
