Danko / Manuel lyrics
Song information
Artist: Drive-By Truckers Album: The Dirty South
Lyrics
Let the night air cool you off Tilt your head back and try to cough Don't say nothing 'bout the things you never saw Let the night air cool you off
I ain't living like I should A little rest might do me good Got to sinking in the place where I once stood Now I ain't living like I should
Can you hear that singing? sounds like gold Maybe I can only hear it in my head Fifteen years ago we owned that road Now it's rolling over us instead
Richard manuel is dead
God forbid you call their bluff Like the nightmares ain't enough Remember when we used to think that we were tough? God forbid you call their bluff
First they make you out to be The only pirate on the sea Then they say danko would have sounded just like me "Is that the man you want to be?"
Can you hear that song? it sounds like gold Maybe I could make it bigger overseas Fifteen years ago we owned this road Now it only gives us somewhere else to leave
Something else you can't believe
Can you hear that singing? sounds like gold Maybe I can hear poor richard from the grave Singin' where to reap and when to sow When you've found another home you have to leave
Something else you can't believe
