Lyrics

Red Clay Boy
Jim Jones

The sun rise up on another day
of walking in my daddy's shoes
I wear his smile and I have his eyes
I don't owe nothing but my blues
He dreams the dream of a world war
He bends some elbows to forget
the many nights he's spent out on the road
cornered the market on regret
let's go boys

red clay boy with your southern drawl
the sun is beating down on you
white trash farm and a white trash town
your sins are quickly coming due
you pick the burs from your overalls
you check the creek for overflow
there ain't flood waters that can wash you clean
they'll only add to what you owe

there ain't no water in the desert
there ain't no man who's lost at sea
red clay boy, you know you can't rise above it
your in-bred misery

I dig your grave in the red clay soil
I claw the dirt from off my hands
I smell decay in your southern life
but soon you'll melt into the sand
I walk away from your tiny stone
A smile spreads accross my face
your shadow lifts from off my own blue eyes
I rejoin the human race

there ain't no water in the desert
there ain't no man who's lost at sea
red clay boy, you know you can't rise above it
your in-bred misery

Tell Me Why Jim Jones I make up conversations; pretend that nothing's changed manuever loudly, while you play your games Well, I remember reading that love is vanity but that was wrong, it's really everything we had no confrontations; no screaming, no big fights as you left you said, you'd said I'd be alright now the days drag on forever and I'm still all alone I can't admit you're never coming home tell me why - why am I all alone? tell me why - standin' this empty room? tell me why - I gave you the sun and moon when are you coming home? when are you coming home? when are you coming home? you played me like a puppet; your naive little fool lovesick boy who followed you home from school but then you saw the future; a rich man's trophy wife and there I stood pathetic with no life tell me why - why am I all alone? tell me why - standin' this empty room? tell me why - I gave you the sun and moon when are you coming home? when are you coming home? when are you coming home? Was it inebriation? was it plain insanity? did I dream you up to be my fantasy? I've lost my concentration, I see you every night the more I dream, the more I want to cry tell me why - why am I all alone? tell me why - standin' this empty room? tell me why - I gave you the sun and moon when are you coming home? when are you coming hime? when are you coming home?
