Powderfinger LyricsArtist: Neil YoungLook out mama, there's a white boat comin' up the river With a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail I think ya better call John รข'cause it don't look like he's here to deliver the mail And it's less than a mile away I hope he didn't come to stay It's got numbers on the side and a gun And it's makin' big waves Daddy's gone, and my brother's out huntin' in the mountian Big John's been drinkin' since the river took Emmy-Lu So the powers that be Left me here to do the thinkin' And I just turned 22 I was wonderin' what to do And the closer they got, the more those feelings grew Daddy's rifle in my hands felt re-assuring He said red means run, son, numbers add up to nothing When the first shot hit the docks I saw it coming Raised my rifle to my eye Never stopped to wonder why Then I saw black and my face flash in the sky Shelter me from the powder and the finger Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger Just think of me as one You'd never figure Would fade away so young With so much left un-done Remember me to my love, I know I will miss her Related: |
