| | Album: | Live Rhymin | | Track: | Duncan | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 89 | | | | Lyrics: | Couple in the next room
Bound to win a prize
They've been going at it all night
long
Well, I'm trying to get some sleep
But these motel walls are cheap
Lincoln
Duncan is my name
And here's my song, here's my song.
My father was a
fisherman
My mama was the fisherman's friend
And I was born in the boredom
And the
chowder
So when I reached my prime
I left my home in the Maritimes
Headed down the
turnpike for
New England, sweet New England
Holes in my confidence
Holes in the
knees of my jeans
I was left without a penny in my pocket
Oo-we I was about
destituted
As a kid could be
And I wished I wore a ring
So l could hock it,
I'd
like to hock it.
A young girl in a parking lot
Was preaching to a crowd
Singing
sacred songs and reading
>From tne Bible
Well, I told her I was lost
And she told me
all about the Pentecost
And I seen that girl as the road
To my survival
Just
later on the very same night
When I crept to her tent with a flashlight
And my long years
of innocence ended
Well, she took me to the woods
Saying here comes something and it feels
so good
And just like a dog I was befriended, I was befriended.
Oh, oh what a
night
Oh what a garden of delight
Even now that sweet memory lingers
I was playing my
guitar
Lying underneath the stars
Just thanking the Lond
For my fingers
For my
fingers | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
