Testo Elmo Lincoln - Jack Ingram
Testo della canzone Elmo Lincoln (Jack Ingram), tratta dall'album Live At Adair's
Elmo Lincoln was a friend of mine
We used to throw papers every weekday afternoon
Well he was making some dough, saving up for a bike
I was laying low, I was killing some time
On those weekday afternoons
Well our hands got black but we never got tired
Till one day I quit and Elmo got fired
We were free every weekday afternoon
Well we rode that bike that he'd worked for all year
Go down to the corner store, too young to want beer
Buy some baseball cards, I'd give him my gum
'Cause the shit was too hard, I didn't want none
Well it would always get dark and I'd make an excuse
Thinking he'd buy it but it was no use
The sun never set down for Elmo Lincoln
Elmo Lincoln
Not for Elmo Lincoln
Well I'll never forget when old Elmo got stuck
Stealing caps from a kid, he ran out of luck
Well we laughed at his nose but nobody had died
Just a little lost blood and a bit of bruised pride
Well you'd think he would quit but Elmo kept on
Just pissed his collection was gone
Guess I never really knew Elmo Lincoln
Elmo Lincoln
Elmo Lincoln
Elmo
Elmo Lincoln
Well I'll never let go the day that I awoke
From a call from a friend, been years since we'd spoke
Old Elmo been killed, run down in the night
By a train without end, a train without light
Well you'd think I would cry but never I did
Couldn't help but smile just thinking of that kid
That I used to run with
Elmo Lincoln
Elmo Lincoln
Elmo Lincoln
Elmo Lincoln
Well you'd think I would cry but never I did
Couldn't help but smile just thinking of that kid
That I used to run with
Elmo Lincoln
