hank williams jr. - 127 rose avenue lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
somewhere in the cradle of the deep south
magnolias sway in the breeze
to the lonesome sound of a redbone hound
howlin’ at the moon and the trees

there’s a sad eyed boy with his guitar
cuttin’ his t–th on the blues
wishin’ on a fallin’ star
at 127 rose avenue

the distant moan of a midnight train
comes blowin’ through the night
he dips his pen in tears and pain
and he begins to write

bout a whippoorwill too blue to fly
and the indian he once knew
bout lost highways, and purple skies
at 127 rose avenue

[chorus]
caretaker said as he shook his head
“son to you believe in ghosts?”
for a five dollar bill you can feel the chill
that he felt long ago

[verse 2]
so a i bought me a ticket at the front door
guess who was there inside
i felt his presence through the whole tour
god i swear, he was alive

i saw the train, i felt the pain
i heard him moaning the blues
twenty-nine years of memories
at 127 rose avenue

[chorus]
caretaker said as he shook his head
“son to you believe in ghosts?”
for a five dollar bill you can feel the chill
that he felt long ago

[outro]
another side eyed boy with his guitar
cutting his t–th on the blues
here i am wishing on a falling star
at 127 rose avenue

it ain’t in nashville
it’s not in montgomery
127 rose avenue
