darrell scott - lone pine lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
sunrise will find him
drinking coffee and cream
there’s a fire in the oven
eating biscuits and beans
w.h. auden lies open face-down
a miles davis solo is floating around

[verse 2]
he sits there and thinks
about the poem he just read
how it might fit together
with the day that’s ahead

[chorus 1]
well his mama said, “son, you’re getting set in your ways
and your dad always wanted to p-ss on this place
you got the name you got the farm now don’t break the line”
lone pine, lone pine, lone pine

[verse 3]
two years in afghanistan
his nerves on display
it’s almost been six [?]
since he came home to stay

[verse 4]
the farm’s never looked better
in all the years it’s been there
granddads and fathers
never gave it such care

[chorus 2]
when he returned from that far away world
his grandmother said “now go find you a girl;
you got the name you got the farm now don’t break the line”
lone pine, lone pine, lone pine

[verse 5]
and he works through his day
and there’s always a plan
there’s a rhythm and pleasure
to his footstep and hand

[chorus 3]
he cuts wood for the winter and he plants in the spring
the gardens of summer and the hope that they bring
and sundown and daybreak alone mark the time
lone pine, lone pine, lone pine [x3]
