Max Stalling - Mockingbird lyrics

Well, I should be in Crystal City, with HR drinking coffee Down at Bee’s Golden Bull, absorbing what he offers me Clinging fast to every word, a scripture for life in immortals terms A shout able story, spoken in very soft tones That’s alright now Momma, it’s just the miles I swear Please don’t stop your letters and your prayers That’s alright now Momma, don’t you cry for me I’m that mockingbird who is singing in your tree Well I remember the words that Toby said, when we visited the spot where they lay Joel to rest Out in the rocks and dirt of that brown cemetery He said, I’ve dealt with droughts since my very first breath and I’ll be damned if I’ll do it in d**h When I die I wanna be buried where the gra** is green That’s alright now Momma, it’s just the miles I swear Please don’t stop your letters and your prayers That’s alright now Momma, don’t you cry for me I’m that mockingbird who is singing in your tree God Bless me Mary Guadalupe, from your bath-tub shrine It’s been so long since my last confession, I don’t know if we’ve time Maybe if I drive by each day and shout five confessions as I pa** each way In thirty years or so maybe we’ll be catching up That’s alright now Momma, it’s just the miles I swear I am living off of your letters and your prayers Don’t you toss and turn while napping, your boy’s out here trying to make it happen I just get a little worried sometimes over bigger things That’s alright now Momma, don’t you weep for me I’m that mockingbird who is singing in your tree Well, I should be in Crystal City
