calexico & iron & wine - prison on route 41 lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
there’s a prison on route 41
home to my father, first cousin, and son
and i visit on every weekend
not with my body but with prayers that i send

i’ve a reason for my absentee
and no lack of love for my dear family
and my savior is not christ the lord
but one named virginia whom i live my life for

[chorus]
’cause i owe mine to her
and i’d rot in that prison for sure
if she’d tossed me aside
and not shown me the way to abide

[verse 2]
by the creed, the law of the land
unlike my uncle, grandpa, and great aunt
whom i’d most likely see every day
if not for the righteous path virginia’s laid

there’s a prison on route 41
home to my mother, stepbrother, and son
and i’d tear down that jail by myself
if not for virginia who made me someone else

[chorus]
and i owe all to her
and i’d rot in that prison for sure
if she’d tossed me aside
and not shown me the way to abide

[verse 3]
by the precepts of her purity
so unlike the habits of my whole family
who i only see down on my knees
in prayer by virginia whom i live for to please
