powderfinger (zuma outtake) lyrics
[verse 1]
look out, mama, there’s a white boat coming up the river
with a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail
i think you better call john
’cause it don’t look like they’re here to deliver the mail
and it’s less than a mile away
i hope they didn’t come to stay
it’s got numbers on the side and a gun
and it’s making big waves

[verse 2]
daddy’s gone, and my brother’s out huntin’ in the mountains
big john’s been drinkin’ since the river took emmy lou
so the powers that be left me here to do the thinkin’
and i just turnеd twenty*two
i was wonderin’ what to do
and the closеr they got
the more those feelin’s grew

[guitar solo]

[verse 3]
daddy’s rifle in my hand felt reassurin’
he told me “red meant run, and numbers add up to nothing”
when the first shot hit the dock i saw it comin’
raised my rifle to my eye
never stopped to wonder why
then i saw black and my face
splashed in the sky
[verse 4]
silence me from the powder and the finger
and cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
just think of me as one you never figured
would fade away so young
with so much left undone
remember me to my love
i know i’ll miss her
