12th and porter - darling west lyrics

Loading...

mary was never at ease with what life had brought her
if things came out this way she’d care more for the other
most of the time she would make up her mind
by simply flipping a coin
holding her bets on both sides of the quarter
then feeding the cigarette machine down at 12th and porter

days like this made her think of her mother
nothing could make her come back she knew she shouldn’t bother
it’s nothing but a sin you don’t learn how to swim
your ma would have cared for it too
feed up head back her daddy had told her
c-mberland’s river’s just a walk down from 12th and porter

the night was so warm she laid back to float like a daughter
in the motherly nearness and the washing of the water
the river caressed her and gently undressed her
she knew she would never go down
if she laid still and followed the wave that had caught her
the machine holds a sign that say slot out of order
one dollar bills only no change staff at 12th and porter
