White Plains
Lyricist:Vanderslice John W
On the Sunday after the mason dance It's the one day I can remember when I felt so pure and really at peace with myself I was in love and the sun sang down victorious
But the truth is I have no faith in happiness It turns to fear, draws the devils near So I jumped the fence and went out west
Abilene, got a sales job as a pharmaceutical rep Lived out of hotels and rental cars and a stowable bag I drove all day from hospital pacing and clinic sweats Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I drove all night, I, I couldn't ever sleep now anyway
I tried, but the old devils, they found me in my room I hid under the covers and I cried out As they tore off my sheets, so I went east
Vietnam, I'm long gone I'm up the river way past Mekong
But the old devils, they found me in my hut They poured through the windows, they cornered me And I cried out to no one, I give up
