lirik lagu sammy walker - the east colorado dam

the shack is falling in and your wrists are getting thin
sweetheart you don’t deserve the kind of life i put you in
but it’s hard to draw a pay when my papers always say
that i took a loaf of bread from the grocery store one day
for my time behind bars, you have to bear the scars
when people down the road can drive ten thousand dollar cars

so it’s a long, long, hard way to the east colorado dam
if i make it to saint louis, i’ll send you a telegram
if i don’t make it at all, you’ll know why i didn’t call
just kiss the baby for me and come see my grave next fall

the weather’s getting warmer and the baby’s coming soon
i’ll try to find some work that might carry us through to june
but everywhere’s the same when you’re a man without a name
they’ll make you feel so useless and then wonder why you came
if a soul~searching beggar is what i was meant to be
i’d rather rot behind the walls of your penitentiary

you say you love me now like you always did before
and i love you just as well but i just can’t keep you down no more
so i’ll be leaving in the morning if the weather’s bad or good
and let you find a man who’ll give you all the things i never could
but i’ll never understand as long as i live
how we can talk of love thy neighbor yet we can never forgive
so it’s a long, long, hard way to the east colorado dam
if i make it to saint louis, i’ll send you a telegram
if i don’t make it at all, you’ll know why i didn’t call
just kiss the baby for me and come see my grave next fall
