The Felice Brothers - Lincoln Continental lyrics

When I was a child my mother said to me You can't spend all your days alone In the shade of a cherry tree My brother cut the roof off a Lincoln cause his doctor said lose some weight And the tape of Buck Owens, my hair was blowing as they drove from the garden state to the lights of the golden gate I've been missing you, so listen id like to ask you could you drive to town? And I've been thinking about your Lincoln continental with the sunroof down When the kid came down from Lennox, Gary Allen was the talk of the town A real high roller, a self-promoter said the band was the best around He said "I got a little money from performing; I bought a new suit and hat." I said, "Performing what?" you said, "Cla**ic stuff Ricky Hayes and Virginia scat." I said, "Who the hell is that?" But I can play a little old time fiddle we can start a little country band. And I was thinking in your Lincoln we can bum around the promise land And the world will open up for us at least that's what I hope it does Probation officer john Collins was a paranoid psychopath He had to paint the fence by the roller rink for the committee of industrial trash You can't find the business end of a rifle You're the devil from an Irish saint I said I got no cares in those affairs what I was, what I am, or ain't I got a lot of fence to paint I got no loving all because I'm kinda infamous crossing lines You got me thinking, even Lincoln must have felt a little lost sometimes And the world will open up for us at least that's what I hope it does
