lirik lagu evan greer - hellraiser
[verse 1]
i listen to your records as the mile markers fly
pass the towns we used to play in all the time
in dive bars and churches, union halls and punk rock clubs
singing “which side are you on?” on the picket lines
pass the rolling hills of pennsylvania
ohio, indiana, illinois
started crying when i crossed the mississippi
grain elevators, fields of soy
[pre~chorus]
we buried you right next to mother jones
and some miners that the pinkertons gunned down
i always called you a living legend
i never thought this day would come around
[chorus]
and i’m not surе if you believed in hеaven
but i know you believed in raising h~ll
so i promise you that i’ll fight for the living
but i’m mourning for you, friend, fare thee well
[verse 2]
“solidarity forever,” we were singing at your grave
but what force on earth was stronger than you?
larger than life, sequins cowboy boots and curls
always quick with a joke or a rebuke
i loved you in all your imperfection
you loved me even when i sang out of key
when you spoke about the strength of working people
you could make most anyone believe
[pre~chorus]
we buried you right next to mother jones
on the beautiful first day of may
and i hope you know how many people loved you
you warrior of the road and stage
[chorus]
and i’m not sure if you believed in heaven
but i know you believed in raising h~ll
so i promise you that i’ll fight for the living
but i’m mourning for you, friend, fare thee well
[bridge]
and i’m not sure where you go when you’re gone
but i like to think about you there
swapping songs with utah phillips
waltzing emma goldman without a care
[verse 3]
in the papers they said that you were tireless
but i know you got tired toward the end
i carried your guitar when you got weary
you taught me what it means to be a friend
you were always picking up the tab
buying whiskey from the very top shelf
i’d watch you pass the hat for striking workers
even when i knew you were broke yourself
[bridge]
and i’m not sure where you go when you’re gone
but i guess we all go there when it’s time
and when i get there i know i’ll find you
singing on some angels picket line
[chorus]
and i’m not sure if i believe in heaven
but you sure taught me how to raise some h~ll
so i swear to you that i’ll fight for the living
but i’m mourning for you, friend, fare thee well
