Henrietta, Indiana 歌詞
Henrietta, Indiana - Josh Ritter
Henrietta Indiana milk time
Locked the factory down and shut it up tight
My daddy and my brother and sixteen-hundred others
Lost everything they had in the night
Daddy got a taste for the hard stuff
Henrietta Indiana was dry
We'd ride out to Putney he'd tell me that he loved me
The drive home was always so quiet
He had a devil in his eye eye
Like a thorn in the paw
Disregard for the law
Disappointment to the Lord on high
My brother practiced preaching in the basement
Perspiration on his face 'til I knew
That something was missing his spirit was willing
He could not believe it was true
"Blessed be the poor " he said
"Your treasure is on high "
All of Henrietta Indiana heard me Hallelujah
When I finally saw the devil in his eyes
Oh the devil in his eye eye
Like a thorn in the paw
Disregard for the law
Disappointment to the Lord on high
I was coming home late
From midnight to eight
The radio said they'd ID'd the plates
Left three men dead
Made their escape
"By now " said the sheriff
"They'll be in the next state "
"Will we be able to catch them "
"Can they bring the dogs in "
"Can they call up the Bureau "
"Do they have next-of-kin "
Cameras came to my door
I opened it wide
They thought I was crying
It was something in my eye eye eye
Eye eye eye oh
At night I leave a bottle on the table
The Bible open to the Sermon on the Mount
Blessed be the poor of Henrietta Indiana
But happy are the ones that get out
I think I'll drive over to Putney
The store'll be open 'til twelve
The empty parking lot the lights the lonely kid the register
I see it all clear as a bell
I got a devil in my eye eye
Like a thorn in the paw
Disregard for the law
Disappointment to the Lord on high
Eye eye
Like a thorn in the paw
Disregard for the law
Disappointment to the Lord on high
