Lyrics
Couple in the next room Bound to win a prize They've been goin' at it all night long Well,I'm trying t get some sleep But these motel walls are cheap Lincoln duncan is my name And here's my song Here's my song
My father was a fisherman My mama was the fisherman's frend And I was born in the boredom and the chowder So when I reached my prime I left my home in the maritimes Headed down the turnpike for new england Sweet new england
Holes in my confidence Holes in the knees of my jeans I was left without a penny in my pocket Oo-ooo-oo wee I was about Destituted as a kid could be And I wished I wore a ring So I could hock it I'd like to hock it
A young girl in a parking lot Was preaching to a crowd Singin sacred songs and Reading from the bible Well I told her I was lost And she told me all about the pentecost And I seen that girl as the road to my survi-val
Just later on the very same night When I crept to her tent with a flashlight And my long years of innocence ended Well she took me to the woods sayin' "Here comes somethin' and it feels so good!" And just like a dog I was befriended I was befriended
Oh, oh, what a night Oh what a garden of delight Even now that sweet memory lingers I was playin' my guitar Lying underneath the stars Just thankin' the lord for my fingers For my fingers
