Justin Townes Earle - Yuma lyrics
Well he woke up that mornin and he called-in to work put on his daddy's old suit with a second hand shirt all untucked, shoes untied the people all snickered as he walked by so he stopped in a bar and bought a shot of stevenson and another he bummed a cigarette and sat talkin with a stranger 'bout the weather and then he paid his bill and he stepped outside and fell down into the street he cursed and he cried as he climbed back up to his feet again so up the road he found a payphone and called his mom he said mom i think i'll be commin' home i've been feelin so bad - i'm tired of this city aint been the same since i lost my pretty angeline mama i miss her so its been over a year and there aint nothin i fear so much as being alone and then he hung up the phone without saying goodbye stopped in the store and bought a postcard and signed it 'fair thee well' and sent it back home to Yuma lookin back i'd say it wasn't so much the girl as it was the booze and the dope and the way he took the weight of the world up upon his shoulders and he let it wash the blue from his eyes as he grew colder and through all those lonely nights that are left alone so he was just 23 when he stepped out on that ledge it was his weary heart that pushed him to the edge he was tired of livin' life and lookin for love a weary heart just needs a little touch and is it to much to ask he cried as he stepped into the wind he turned his back on the world and he fell back to earth again so with the wind in his hair and a smile on his face he crashed through the hood of an olds '98 and he laid there and died on a cold winters day all alone...all alone |
