cary swinney - seventh of september lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
it’s the seventh of september
a visionary time
and i have come back from the future
i’ve come to see what once was mine

[verse 2]
it’s a solitary journey
when you’re a ghost of rock and roll
and though my own hometown now claims me
they will never have my soul

[verse 3]
so they gather in west texas
you know, the place i chose to leave
where they’ve encased my black+rimmed glasses
i just stare in disbelief

[verse 4]
you see, for years i was forgotten
but now i am their favorite son
and on my birthday in september
they take the money and they run
see them run

[verse 5]
i hear crickets in the evenin’
i wipe the sweat off of my brow
in a garage on thirty+seventh
it’s an illusion to me now
[verse 6]
ain’t it funny how things happen?
i mean once you’re dead and gone
seems now everybody knew me, and loved me
young and old now sing my songs

[bridge]
and santiago smells the money
i should’ve seen that all along
her new alliances with commerce, her lawsuits
my songs, my songs

[pedal steel guitar solo]

[verse 7]
i was once a young musician
a songwriter, so they say
and though an aeroplane did take me
it seems i never fade away
not fade away
