the raid - harpeth rising lyrics
i dreamed i woke up in the raid last night
they were smokin’ every drifter they could get in sight
i made it to the freight, i escaped in the nick of time
i dived through the boxcar, this cat tips his hat
says this train is leavin’ but it ain’t comin’ back
i said that’s okay, i’m just goin’ along for the ride
help me get back to the road again
i don’t got time to explain
can’t remember how i got here
doesn’t matter much now, anyway
they’re draggin’ sweet lila through the middle of the street
there were chains on her feet, she was dressed in white
it was quite a sight, she just looked around and smiled
and they broke her heart on the wheel of desire
and she called my name when they lit the fire
i might’ve saved her but, you know, i did not even try
there’s old king jack, harpoon in the back
he’s a*drinkin’ the rain, he’s a*feelin’ no pain
ain’t it a shame how the mighty always fall so low
jack’s old dog disappeared in the fog
and we waited all day just to take him away
if you find him, remind him he can’t go back home
help me get back to the road again
i don’t got time to explain
can’t remember how i got here
doesn’t matter much now, anyway
in this boxcar boudoir where they come to confess
lies a sorrowful drifter who is all in a mess
the flute girls played ’til all of his music has died
miss informed is explaining to miss understand
while yonder miss fortune holds out her hand
miss*taken identity just got her very next ride
he just pleads insane, miss judge says it’s his right
miss trial denies mercy and he’s sentenced to life
lina steps forward, it’s time she puts on her veil
she says softly, “sir, you must be confused
i wait here forever but it’s never for you”
and the wind of eternity fills a dead man’s sails
help me get back to the road again
i got no time to explain
can’t remember how i got here
doesn’t matter much now, anyway
