letra de new danville girl (empire burlesque outtake) - bob dylan

Loading...

i wish i could remember that movie just a little bit better
all i remember about it was that it starred gregory peck
he was shot down in the back by a hungry kid trying to make a name for himself
the townspeople wanted to crush that kid down and string him up by the neck

well the sheriff beat that boy into a bl–dy pulp
as the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath
‘turn him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair and square
i want him to feel what it’s like to evеry moment face his death’

wеll i keep seeing this stuff and it just comes a-rolling in
and it blows right through me like a ball and chain
you know i can’t believe we’ve lived so long and are still so far apart
your memory keeps callin’ after me like a rollin’ train
i can still see the day that you came to me on the painted desert
in your busted-down ford and your platform heels
i could never figure out why you chose that particular place to meet
ah, but you were right. it was perfect, as i got in behind the wheel
we drove that car all night into san antone
and we slept near the alamo, fell out under the stars
way down in mexico you went out to see a doctor and you never came back
i stayed there a while, till the whole place it started feelin’ like mars
well, i’m driving this car and the sun is comin’ up over the rockies
somethin’ about it reminds me of you, like when she sings “baby, let the
good times roll”
but i’m too over the edge to remember the things we used to talk about or do
and she don’t want to remind me, she knows this car would go out of control

danville girl with your danville curl
t–th like pearls, shining like the moon above
danville girl take me all around the world
danville girl, you’re my honey love

well. we crossed the panhandle and then we headed out towards amarillo
rushin’ down where henry porter used to live, he owned a wreckin’ lot
outside of town
we could see ruby in the window, as we came rolling up in a trail of dust
she said ‘henry’s not here, he took off, but y’all can come in and
stay a while’

well she told us times were tough but we never knew how bad off she was
you know she would change the subject every time money came up
you know her eyes were filled with so much sadness, she was so
disillusioned with everything
she said ‘even the swap meets around here are getting pretty corrupt’
‘how far y’all going?’ ruby asked us with a sigh
‘we’re going all the way ’till the wheels fall off and burn
till the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water
moccasin dies’
ruby just smiled and said ‘ah, you know, some babies never learn’
i keep trying to remember that movie though, and it does keep comin’ back
but i can’t remember what part i played or who i was supposed to be
all i can remember about it is it’s starring gregory peck and he was in it
and everything he did in it reminded me of me. yeah!
danville girl with your danville curl
t–th like pearls, shining like the moon above
danville girl take me all around the world
danville girl, you’re my honey love

well, they were looking for somebody with a pompadour
i was crossing the street when they opened fire
i didn’t know whether to duck or to run so i ran
sounded to me like i was bein’ chased by the midnight choir
well, you saw my picture in the corpus christi tribune
underneath it said ‘a man with no alibi’
you went out on a limb to testify and you said i was with you. ah, yes you did!
and i watched you break down in front of the judge and cry
it was the best acting i ever saw you do
i’ve always been an emotional person but this time it was asking too much
if there’s an original thought out there, oh, i could use it right now!
yeah, i feel pretty good, but you know i could feel a whole lot better, oh
yes i could
if you were just here by my side to show me how
well, i’m standing in line in the rain to see a movie starring gregory peck
oh yes i am, but it’s not the one that i had in mind
he’s got a new one out now, you know it just don’t look the same
but i’ll see him anyway and i stand in line

danville girl with your danville curl
t–th like pearls, shining like the moon above
danville girl take me all around the world
danville girl, you’re my honey love
you know, it’s funny how people just want to believe what’s convenient
nothing happens on purpose, it’s an accident if it happens at all
and everything that’s happening to us seems like it’s happening without our
consent
but we’re busy talking back and forth to our shadows on an old stone wall
oh, you got to talk to me now baby, tell me about the man that you
used to love
and tell me about your dreams, just before the time you passed out. oh, yeah!
tell me about the time that our engine broke down and it was the
worst of times
tell me about all the things that i couldn’t do nothin’ about

there was a movie i seen one time, i think i sat through it twice
i don’t remember who i was or what part i played
all i remember about it was it was starring gregory peck
but that was a long time ago, and it was made in the shade

danville girl with your danville curl
t–th like pearls, shining like the moon above
danville girl take me all around the world
danville girl, you’re my honey love
