Shovels & Ropes - Keeper lyrics
rate meWe'll leave by the river and
She got herself a good good man,
Spend half of year off shore in old Alabam.
Her friend said she should leave him,
And she could join them in the west coast sand.
But she knows she's gotta keep her in and never
Get her understand, understand.
She put a line in the water when the sun comes up,
She can see it going down.
Dancing all alone to the radio, til the man come back around
She might go down the Pensicola,
Maybe lay down on the old gold shore.
She don't know the bars and the home without him anymore,
She don't care about what they say,
She don't listen anyway!!
On the ruff neck ...she's playing cards around the TV set,
Waiting around for something that had a happy end,
Joking with the dancers she said I could help you to forget.
But he knows he's gotta keep her smiling and lights a cigarette,
And tipses her.
He puts the head on the bill when the sun comes up,
Starts working when it's going down.
Men hostile down on me and Bill,
We waiting on her to turn around.
He starts thinking about Pensicola,
He could be fishing on the old gold shore.
He don't like to do those things without her anymore,
He don't care about what they say
Man, he don't listen anyway!!
They put the lines in the water when the sun comes up,
Start drinking when it's going down.
Dancing real slow to the radio, cause the man come back around.
They might go down the Pensicola,
Do a little fishing on the old gold shore.
They don't know like to stay up all night
The way they did before.
They don't care about what they say,
She never listens anyway!!
