danny - haden scott lyrics

verse 1:
danny adaline was born down on 6th street
a couple of blocks into jackson, mississippi
to a mother and a father who never had dreams
but danny was determined to break free
danny had a sister who, couldn’t speak
she never was able to tell danny her dreams
but danny knew somethin about his sister, marie
he knew, she was determined to break free

chorus 1:
he said hey, hey marie
girl i think you can run with me
a smile lit up her face, and danny knew his place
and they were gonna break free
and he said hey, hey marie
girl i think you can run with me
a smile lit up her face, and danny knew his place
and they were gonna break free

verse 2:
from day one danny always had a feeling
that he was gonna go down in history
as a writer as a singer as an ath*e*lete
but his parents never took him seriously
danny and marie took off in ‘93
when danny boy was just 13
and a couple weeks later 10 year old marie
spoke for the first time yelling “i am free”
a couple days later they were in tennessee
and along came a boy named henry
henry played the guitar with eaze
could hit a note so good it’d make danny wheeze
he had fled from his family up in kentucky
and sang songs all the way, it filled him with glee
and together they all headed into missouri
a place where they thought they could break free
chorus 2:
danny said hey, hey henry
boy i think you’re the one for me
a smile lit up each face, they began to know their place
they were gonna break free
and danny said hey, hey henry
boy i think you’re the one for me
a smile lit up each face, they began to know their place
they were gonna break free

verse 3:
about 100 miles into missouri
danny heard somethin that filled him with misery
henry quietly said “man, i gotta leave”
and he left poor danny and marie
the lonely two continued northerly
they decided they were gonna settle in st. louis
danny made a guitar outta wood and some string
and marie made a bass from an apple tree
they started playin for tips on the side of the street
they sounded so good they made 100 a week
their most popular song was called henry
and they sang it all the way to the city
a couple months after danny turned 14
when they were barely making enough money to eat
a man named w*lly offered to drum with them
and created a band called the scarlet gem
chorus 3:
w*lly said hey, danny and marie
do you two wanna play with me?
a smile lit up each face, and marie proudly plucked her bass
they had broken free, so free
after w*lly said hey, danny and marie
do you two wanna play with me?
a smile lit up each face, and marie proudly plucked her bass
they had broken free, so free

verse 4:
the band was soon the talk of st. louis
and the song about the boy named henry
w*lly got an apartment for the three
with a good view of the city
a long while later when marie turned 16
danny found his little queen
a girl by the name of valerie
a face so pretty brought danny to his knees
she moved in it filled danny with glee
danny knew that he needed valerie
marie and valerie sung happily
and w*lly taught her how to keep a beat
the scarlet gem made a new hit song
it sounded so good you couldn’t go wrong
the song that made so many people feel happy
went by the name of valerie
chorus 4:
it went like hey, hey valerie
girl i think you’re the one for me
i saw that smile on your face, and your glory and your grace
you make me feel so free
everybody sang hey, hey valerie
girl i think you’re the one for me
i saw that smile on your face, and your glory and your grace
you make me feel so free

verse 5:
at 23 danny got married
to the girl of his dreams
they had a little boy named louis
and he would grow up strong and free
but first scarlet gem had some songs to make
by now they known across the united states
and a tour across u. s. a
was coming and danny couldn’t wait
but the story turns real sad from here
because danny’s death was near
as the man who was 27 years
was shot over a bottle of beer
w*lly and danny’s new family
heartbroken, they couldn’t breathe
but at danny’s funeral there was a moment
when the whole earth sang

chorus 5:
everybody said, hey, hey danny
thank you for being here with me
your music put a smile on my face, and you’ve cemented your place
your place in history

outro:
hey, danny adaline
why did you have to leave everybody
that frown on my face, well a smile took its place
the music made us all, feel free
