jackson taylor & the sinners - faulkner by dashboard lights lyrics
verse 1:
my daddy picked cotton until his fingers bled
barely made enough to keep the family fed
he was a hard working man with callused hands
he drank whiskey, i drank c-ke
we’d fry bacon if we weren’t too broke
when we were, there were beans in a can
we had a hard back cover of svet vi avguste
to take our mind off the heat and the rust
broke down somewhere in texas, that was home for us
chorus:
it was me and him out on our own
in an old red rambler we’d rule the road
it had a wired on b-mper, that sparked as we drove
yeah, the living in cars and migrant camps
wasn’t a better time that was paid to be had
he’d read me faulkner by the dashboard lights
verse 2:
yeah, we’d fall asleep on the side of the road
somewhere lost in new mexico
i was billy the kid in my dream
and we’d wake up to the frost in the great north west
cherry blossoms dropping with [?]
you know barely getting by was the best we could do
and i learned about jesus and [?]
belly’s would growl and we’d sit and listen
about the love of god (redemption of sin people)
chorus:
it was me and him out on our own
in an old red rambler we’d rule the road
it had a wired on b-mper, that sparked as we drove
yeah, the living in cars and migrant camps
wasn’t a better time that was paid to be had
he’d read me faulkner by the dashboard lights
verse 3:
my daddy drank but he never got mean
he showed me love of living free
when times got tough, you had to deal in between
outro:
hey, i always knew that my old man loved me!
it was me and him out on our own
in an old red rambler we’d rule the road
it had a wired on b-mper, that sparked as we drove
every word of that song is 100% true
