Lyrics
(Jim armenti)
I've been called every bad name, some I can't name By judges and lawyers and folks I never met But my mother she called me walker jermaine She said go out boy and make your own way
So I tried making boxes out in nashua Yeah I tried laying traps up in bar harbor bay But none of it held me and I got way Yeah I got away good, just as gone as I could
Chorus Every shuteye ain't sleep I know it's so Restless I ride in the linen Every goodbye ain't gone I know it's true I'm counting out days, leaving only a few
I know it's not right to take what's not mine I'm sure it's not right, I know stealing's a crime But I know what it's like to see a life going down Like gravel in a grave, one grain at a time
(Chorus)
Well I been here so long I got stones for old friends And I tell 'em my secrets and that's where it ends The woman who named me, she's in the ground But her walker jermaine just cannot be found
