Bye Bye Palenville Lyrics

Hey winter bird, hey baby
ain't you heard you can fly
so why do you stay?
Well I guess I know how that feels, when the
Devil is at your heels and boy
the worm in your brain got you lying awake
But I could never understand,
how a living breathing man
could run away and leave his kids in the cold
You can aim your blows at me
you can pray the rosary, but in the end
we meet our maker alone
And daddy said
bye bye Palenville
bye bye Palenville
Jesus don't we fall to pieces,
the country night's so god damn still,
bye bye Palenville
Hey Jessie Lee
Man what a mess you leave when you run away
But I can never stay gone for long
I remember how you'd laugh
How you'd lay back in the bath
And close your eyes and hum out a jailbird song
When the day our baby came
And we gave her a precious name
So everyone would know what a pearl we found
And the day the world ends
I'll be here with all my friends
In the falling sun dancing in the rock
Don't let me ever say
bye bye Palenville
bye bye Palenville
Jesus don't we fall to pieces,
the country night's so god damn still,
bye bye Palenville
