fences - jason boland & the stragglers lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
a single town county, a hundred-horse town
the rodeo rides away, then comes back around
the fiddler was shorted though he played cherokee
that’s a warnin’ to a white boy like me

[chorus]
all i see now are fences
the cards turn a profit but their people are gone
these old holes in the highway are so brutal on bones
you don’t dance with who brought you, it’s a lonesome walk home

[verse 2]
can i catch a ride, sir, if you’re goin’ this way?
i forgot what would all the protestants say
she was there for the takin’, there were promises made
the smallpox and whiskey were a mighty bad trade

[chorus]
all i see now are fences
the cards turn a profit but their people are gone
these old holes in the highway are so brutal on bones
you don’t dance with who brought you, it’s a lonesome walk home

[verse 3]
the tables are turned into dried-up remains
since the storm from the east blew across the plains

[chorus]
all i see now are fences
the casinos turn a profit but their people are gone
these old holes in the highway are so brutal on bones
you don’t dance with who brought you, it’s a lonesome walk home
you don’t dance with who brought you, it’s a lonesome walk home
