Fire Line Road - James Mcmurtry[00:00:00]

My name is Alice Walker[00:00:07]

They never told me why[00:00:09]

I'm not named for anybody[00:00:11]

It's a name out of the sky[00:00:13]

They thought it was pretty I guess[00:00:15]

Way back when[00:00:17]

I'll change it some day[00:00:19]

I like to pretend I'm Just a visitor here[00:00:21]

Like on one of those shows[00:00:25]

In a house full of people I don't hardly know[00:00:27]

But we'll all get to go home in a week or so[00:00:30]

Back to real life[00:00:35]

And I'm picking up the carpet[00:00:43]

In the corner where I crash[00:00:44]

I'm too tired to separate the pennies from the trash[00:00:47]

And I don't guess it matters even why Jesus died[00:00:51]

I can tell you about sins[00:00:55]

They got this duplex up on Fire Line Road[00:00:59]

It's way out from town[00:01:03]

So the rent's pretty low[00:01:04]

Not much more than a cinder block cell[00:01:07]

Just like the one next door[00:01:10]

And the next one as well[00:01:13]

And the bus don't run out here[00:01:14]

But three times a day[00:01:16]

The 7 11 it's a full mile away[00:01:19]

And there's a car in the yard[00:01:22]

Mostly rust and dents[00:01:24]

We moved here in it[00:01:27]

But it hasn't run since[00:01:28]

Forget my name[00:01:32]

Can you forget my face[00:01:34]

Gonna lose myself in some finer place[00:01:39]

Finer Places where I'll go[00:01:48]

I'll leave no trace out on Fire Line Road[00:01:55]

And there's a pile of daddy's[00:02:07]

Quick picks scattered on the floor[00:02:09]

Among the half empty bottles[00:02:11]

That chair against the door[00:02:14]

In case he comes home drinkin'[00:02:15]

With lovin' on his mind[00:02:18]

I'd never let it happen[00:02:19]

But that don't stop him tryin'[00:02:21]

My sister weren't so lucky[00:02:23]

He got to her too soon[00:02:25]

She never saw it coming[00:02:27]

He knew just what to do[00:02:29]

To keep her silent[00:02:31]

I swear to god I'll kill him if I can[00:02:32]

He said she made him do it[00:02:35]

After all he's just a man[00:02:37]

Forget my name can you forget my face[00:02:44]

Gonna lose myself in some finer place[00:02:52]

Finer places where I'll go[00:03:00]

And I'll leave no trace out on Fire Line Road[00:03:08]

One two three four[00:03:14]

Now she snorts that crank[00:03:53]

And stares at the phone[00:03:55]

She ain't big as a minute[00:03:57]

Just skin on bone[00:03:59]

She bites her nails right down to the quick[00:04:01]

And they've taken her babies[00:04:05]

And they won't give them back[00:04:07]

And I know she loves them[00:04:09]

And god knows she tries[00:04:11]

But when you're that far down[00:04:13]

You're just going to get high[00:04:15]

It's like eating or breathing to the rest of us[00:04:17]

She can't even feel bad without the stuff[00:04:21]

Forget my name can you forget my face[00:04:30]

Gonna lose myself in some finer place[00:04:37]

Finer places where I'll go[00:04:46]

I'll leave no trace out on Fire Line Road[00:04:53]

My name is Alice Walker[00:05:06]

They never told me why[00:05:08]
