This Old Skin - Beautiful South[00:00:00]
It was '96 in south carolina [00:00:14]
Thats the place and not the goddam year [00:00:18]
I was sittin on the porch out at bobbys place [00:00:22]
Just tuggin on a lukewarm beer [00:00:25]
There i was peepin like that old sidewinder [00:00:30]
Just an inch or so above the mud [00:00:33]
The first to find out that its rainin[00:00:37]
Is the last to find out its a flood [00:00:40]
It was paradise valley nevada [00:00:46]
Not far from where the west was won [00:00:50]
I am the only black face in the whole damn place[00:00:53]
Just a raisin in the blazing sun [00:00:57]
Here i am like that old sidewinder [00:01:01]
Just wishin that her eggs aint hatched [00:01:04]
And the chain i wear has 'em wishin for[00:01:08]
The day when it came with a ball attached [00:01:11]
So im gonna move right outta this town [00:01:17]
When this old skin stops weighin me down [00:01:25]
This old skin [00:01:32]
He was sittin in the very same spot[00:01:32]
That otis sat to watch the dock of the bay [00:01:35]
In the very same spot the ships rolled in [00:01:40]
Now there's nothing but the mud and the clay [00:01:43]
Im gonna move right outta this town [00:01:47]
This old skin is weighing me down [00:01:54]
This old skin [00:02:02]
Outside atlanta when the sunshine state[00:02:10]
Has just upped itself another degree [00:02:13]
I am the very last orange of the whole years crop [00:02:17]
Hangin dearly to the branch of the tree [00:02:21]
And the wind in the spring couldn't do anything [00:02:24]
So im burnin in the sun of the south [00:02:28]
That old sidewinder in the dust below [00:02:32]
Im just waiting till it opens its mouth [00:02:35]
So im gonna move right outta this town [00:02:40]
This old skin finally touches the ground [00:02:48]
This old skin [00:02:56]
He was sittin in the very same spot[00:02:56]
That otis sat to watch the dock of the bay [00:02:59]
The very same spot the ships rolled in [00:03:04]
Now there's nothing but the mud and the clay [00:03:07]
Now im gonna move right outta this town [00:03:10]
This old skin finally touches the ground [00:03:18]
This old skin[00:03:25]
This old skin[00:03:29]
This old skin[00:03:32]
This old skin[00:03:40]
