Southside of Heaven, Ryan Bingham
Questa avrei TANTO voluto scriverla io. E, sì, sono in fissa con Ryan Bingham.
Aggiungo: lui pronuncia “sEUthside” e io mi sono adeguata, perché pronunciare sAUthside dopo aver sentito l’originale mi suonava male. I misteri dell’accento del Texas.
COVER OF: Southside of Heaven
ORIGINAL BY: Ryan Bingham
ALBUM: Mescalito (2007)
When I die lord won’t you put my soul up on a train
won’t you send it southbound give it a cool bluesman name
I’ve been lost out on those back roads so many times I’ve gone blind
and losing faith in my family had drove me right out my damn mind
chorus:
But on the south side of heaven wont you take me home
cuz i’ve been broke down so long it’s getting cold
Well I’ve been a desperado in West Texas so long I need a change
and in ten long years this old place aint seen a drop of rain
and that wind blows everyday just like a desert snow
like a lost bound train running on cocaine and outta control
(chorus)
Well those Louisiana byways and those lonesome (Texas) Highways roll on
won’t you take me where the poor man lives its where I call home
and can’t you see that a breeze is just a change in pace
and money can’t buy my soul because it comes from a hard earned place
