Charlie Robison - Mollys Blues Lyrics

I will see you in the mornin'
When the moonlight leaves the trees
But I will always feel the embers
Of the flames in Tennessee

I was sleepin' when they came knockin'
They said boy you better leave
Said South Nashville it's a-rockin'
And they can't get no relief

So I run to put my pants on
And I run to get my car
But the flames they was a-risin'
And I didn't get too 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 wan't hurtin' 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 by the roadside
And I talk to your machine
I can see the flames a-risin'
Over Nashville, Tennessee

Well, don't go lookin' on your TV
They gonna keep all the discreet
They will never tell all the secrets
Of the flames in Tennessee

You know I hope she don't discover
That this all was 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 mornin'
When the moonlight leaves the trees
But I will always feel the embers
The night they burned down
Nashville, Tennessee
