Testo Paradise - Dwight Yoakam
Testo della canzone Paradise (Dwight Yoakam), tratta dall'album Dwight's Used Records
When I was a boy, my family would travel
Down to western Kentucky where my parents were born
To a lost little town there that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where paradise lay
He said, "I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away"
Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot our pistols
Oh, but empty pop bottles was all we would kill
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where paradise lay
He said, "I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away"
Well, the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
They tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Lored the dirt for their coal 'til the ground was forsaken
And wrote it all down as the progress of man
Oh, daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where paradise lay
He said, "I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away"
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with paradise waiting
Just five miles away from where I am
Oh, and daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where paradise lay
He said, "I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away"
He said, "I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away"
Oh, Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
