well, i’ll be damned - jess joy lyrics

[verse 1]
no, i don’t blame you for thinkin’ those thoughts
when the rain doesn’t stop, gettin’ dry ain’t so easy
and the thunder was too close for comfort that summer
and you couldn’t seek shelter, such spells you were under

[chorus]
well, i’ll be d*mned if it broke a woman like you
yeah, i’d be d*mned because i’m exactly like you
if you need some laughter
if you need some relief
call on me, i will answer
and by september you’ll remember life is sweet

[verse 2]
no, the apple don’t fall far from the tree
when the roots are diseased, so are the seeds
but no one has seen more beautiful leaves
seasons change colors and so can we

[chorus]
i’ll be d*mned if it broke a woman like you
yeah, i’d be d*mned because i’m exactly like you
if you need some laughter
if you need some relief
call on me, i will answer
and by september you’ll remember life is sweet
[outro]
sounds like such a ridiculous story, so i don’t even know if it’s right, but didn’t you say your dad’s mom had ten children?
and that when she was thirty she got put into an asylum, and she never came out?
okay, so that was true, that was a true story (your grandma?)
my great grandmother (oh yeah)
did she spend the rest of her life in the asylum? (mm*hmm)
what was her name? y’all wanna go left?
(carrie bell robinson)
carrie bell robinson? (richmond)
richmond? (yeah)
wow
i think history’s fascinating
it’s fascinating to me
and did… was she able to see anyone or like talk to anyone or she was just like…
(yeah, they could just, like, see her, yeah)
what sort of stuff did she do in the mental hospital?
(they probably gave her electric shock treatments and kept her medicated so that… she was probably sad)
geez
did she do any sort of art or anything?
(good question! i found her grave)
wow
(it’s in mississippi)
and so your grandfather, i mean, your dad and his nine siblings were raised by his father?
(yeah, and then he remarried, he had a stepmom)
oh, he remarried?
(i don’t even know her name)
oh, okay
(i need to look into that)
what was his dad like?
(his dad was just a hard workin’ man at a paper mill)
interesting, wh—
(what’s a man gonna do with ten kids in 1940?)
