Testo The Replacement - Giant Sand
Testo della canzone The Replacement (Giant Sand), tratta dall'album Storm (25th Anniversary Edition)
He was there when we needed you
We needed you bad
He was there when we needed you
That's the truth
He was there when we needed you
And we were glad he was there
Where, where were you?
Where were you?
Well I tried to get me a line on through
But they haven't even built the wire
If I were to send all my love to you
They'd turn the wire into fire
I cannot even tell you what I was doing
Or really what it's all about
The only thing that kept me going that whole time
Was what I'd do for you when I was out
Now you tell me
He was there when we needed you
We needed you bad
He was there when we needed you
And that's the truth
He was there when we needed you
You bet we were glad he was there
Where, where were you?
Where was I?
Well you know where I am
I've been three thousand miles through the center of the earth
To a city some still call sin
They couldn't believe I was still outside
They needed to check me out twice
While they kept my body preoccupied
They put all my best ideas on ice
Well daddy was always a dreamer
He told me never wanted nobody's help
The day he tried to fix the big barn himself
Was the day the rafter fell
We picked him up, bed him down in the house
This was long after the save the farm trend had passed
With the storm that night there came a knock on the door
He thought a miracle had come at last
And he was there when we needed you
We needed you bad
He was there when we needed you
And that's the truth
He was there when we needed you
You bet we were glad he was there
Where, where were you?
Where was I?
I can tell you where I was
I was there in a corner in a southern stinkhouse
With a Chinese smile because
They didn't want to see a man like me
Who thought so very little of time go free
Free this time
Free this time
This time
Yeah
Well he kind of reminds me of me the way he smiles
Even has my walk
When I rode up through the middle of town
I heard the whisper of the whole town talk
Now there can be no end if we're enemies
The future has never been clearer
I just need to avoid some things from now on
Like looking long and hard in the mirror
He was there when we needed you
We needed you bad
He was there when we needed you
Brother that's the truth
He was there when we needed you
You bet we were glad he was there
Where, yeah where were you?
Now where were you?
You gotta live with the truth
