Shovels and Rope

Shovels and Rope - Boxcar lyrics

rate me

Aint it just like you and me to go down like that?

Bleeding out in a boxcar shot in the back.

We were all that luck all that time

Lord was waiting for us at the end of the line.

Any minute now we knew we were going to have to decide.

Take a fat chance come out gunning.

Get out now and try to keep running down south.

Til she said hey hey cut the rope

No way we’re gonna let them get us both

Don’t stop running til we reach that coast

Let your pretty momma go up in smoke

Coming out of the harbor it was simple and new

Clean as clear water we could see straight through.

But in that old dust bowl when the money got low

it was all we could do to keep a nail in the floor

Showed on her face, tell by the lines

These were desperate times

Pistol strapped and her hair was dyed

Gonna make her money like Bonnie and Clyde

Well be alright

And she said hey hey cut the rope

No way were gonna let them get us both

Dont stop running til we reach that coast

Let your pretty momma go up in smoke

Dont let the sorry weather get you down

Change your last name, try your luck around

And if they ever come to ask about me

Tell them that you knew me and you kind of liked me

I ain’t afraid to go it on my own

You can make a run and make it all alone

Youll be all right

End of the line the engines still burning

Just like the wheels, the hands keep turning round and round

Til time ran out

And she said hey hey cut the rope

No way were gonna let them get us both

Dont stop running til we reach that coast

Let your pretty momma go up in smoke (X2)
