Charlie Robison - Molly's Blues lyrics

I will see you in the morning When the moonlight leaves the trees But I will always feel the embers Of the flames in Tennessee I was sleeping when they came knocking They said boy you better leave Said South Nashville is rocking And they can't get no relief So I run and put my pants on And I run to get my car But the flames they was a rising And I didn't get to far There was a black man on the corner He said boy just turn away I got a gun here in my pocket And I will take your life away So I showed the man your picture And I said we had a son And I was just up here from Texas I wasn't hurting anyone So I run out to the highway And I finally caught a ride With some white trash outta towner With his wife and kids inside So I sit here on the roadside And I talk to your machine I can see the flames a rising Over Nashville Tennessee Well, don't go out looking on your TV They gonna keep this all discreet They will never tell the secrets Of the flames in Tennessee You know I hope she don't discover That this all was all just a lie But If I don't get home to see her Then my heart will surely die I will see you in the morning When the moonlight leaves the trees But I will always feel the embers Of The flames in Tennessee The night they burned down Nashville Tennessee
