Testo Marie - Michael Weston King

Testo della canzone Marie (Michael Weston King), tratta dall'album Crawling Through The USA

I stood in line and left my name

Took about six hours or so

Well the man just grinned

Like it was all a game

Said they'd let me know

Put in my time till the Pocono line

Shut down two years ago

I was staying at the mission

Till I met Marie

Can't stay there no more

A fella 'cross town said he's looking for a man

To move some old cars around

Maybe me and Marie can find a burned out van

Do a little settling down

But I'm just dreaming, I ain't got no ride

And the junkyard's a pretty good way

That job's about a half week old

Besides, it'd be gone now anyway

Unemployment said I got no more checks

And they showed me to the hall

My brother died in Georgia some time ago

I got no one left to call

Summer wasn't bad below the bridge

A little short on food, that's all

Now I gotta get Marie some kind of coat

We're headed down into fall

I used to play the mouth harp pretty good

Hustled up a little dough

But I got drunk and I woke up rolled

A couple of months ago

They got my harp and they got my dollar

Them low-lifes, so and so

Harps cost money and I ain't got it

It's my own fault, I suppose

The Pocono's down but the Chesapeake's running

Two freights every day

If it was just me, I'd be headed south

But Marie can't catch no train

She's got some pain and she thinks it's a baby

Says we've gotta wait and see

In my heart I know it's a little boy

Hope he don't end up like me

Well, the man's still grinning, says he's lost my file

I gotta stand in line again

I wanna kill him but I just say no

I had enough of that line, my friend

I head back to the bridge, it's getting kind of cold

I'm feeling too low down to lie

I guess I'll just tell Marie the truth

Hope she don't break down and cry

Marie, she didn't wake up this morning

She didn't even try

She just rolled over and went to heaven

My little boy's safe inside

I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them

Caught a Chesapeake on the fly

Marie will know I'm headed south

So's to meet me by and by

Marie will know I'm headed south

So's to meet me by and by
