Paroles Tennessee de David Rovics

Textes et Paroles de Tennessee

I met a young woman in a diner one daySomewhere in TennesseeShe asked me what I wantedAnd she brought me my breakfast of biscuits, gravy and coffeeI saw the for sale sign in the windowAnd I asked her how come, what forShe said you can see they way this town's goneBy the boards on every door'Cause the company came and it wentAnd I guess they reached their goalUsed to be a beautiful mountain hereNow there's just a pile of coalAnd everywhere you look you can seeThe countryside they stoleThe biggest tree in this old forestIs a telephone poleShe said this used to be a company townNot so very long agoNow the most common car that you seeHas a U-Haul trailer in towIt's so sad to watch a townGrow up just for it to fall apartTo think of all the good and the hard times we hadIt's enough to break my heart'Cause the company came and it wentAnd I guess they reached their goalUsed to be a beautiful mountain hereNow there's just a pile of coalAnd everywhere you look you can seeThe countryside they stoleThe biggest tree in this old forestIs a telephone poleThe only thing worse than the company being hereWas watching it say goodbyeYou know we had to fight do damn hardJust to get a little piece of the pieBut there's nothing left here for me nowBut memories and things gone wrongDon't know where I'll goAll I know is I'm gone'Cause the company came and it wentAnd I guess they reached their goalUsed to be a beautiful mountain hereNow there's just a pile of coalAnd everywhere you look you can seeThe countryside they stoleThe biggest tree in this old forestIs a telephone pole
