lirik lagu songs about rivers - the ballad of jimmy scott
[verse 1]
when you’re older, you feel something
when you’re young you can’t feel a thing
i’ve started lots of fires, but i learned from them
the baker brothers said i wasn’t dirty enough
they wanted to hang me from a tree
i’m stuck with this number on my chest
it didn’t fail because of me
[chorus]
warden, d~mn right, i moved those bags around
warden, you locked me up to keep those pitchforks in the ground
when you are hurting, you’ll blame anything
[verse 2]
they wanted to string me up the bayview bridge
webstеr haunts me every singlе day of my life
and it gave me this sentence
i never claimed that i was perfect
i’ve tangled and drank my share and ten
but when the newsman asked for sandbaggers
i was there to do my penance
[chorus]
warden, a better man, would have put the bottle down
warden, i tried my best, there’s no redemption in this town
[bridge]
one day soon these walls will crumble into debris
and take what fight the cancer couldn’t from me
they say rudy was a ghost
suzie is gone, and i’m a memory
mississippi sunset in my mind, is all i’ll see
[chorus]
quincy, when i was young i know i let you down
quincy, my heart broke watching my hometown city drown
