Hannibal, MO - Dolorean[00:00:00]

Written by：Alex Trevor James[00:00:01]

I had a true love from hannibal[00:00:16]

Where the Mississippi turns flat and wide[00:00:25]

We'd lay out on the sandbars[00:00:33]

And fall[00:00:37]

And fall asleep to the barges and the fireflies[00:00:42]

And I killed my true love from hannibal[00:00:53]

She was nineteen and I was twenty two[00:01:01]

Summer was ending and she was leaving soon[00:01:09]

To study writing on the east coast[00:01:18]

And I worked in my father's shop[00:01:29]

Fixing air conditioners and heating pumps[00:01:38]

Going to college never made much sense to me[00:01:46]

I wanted to keep my true love close to me[00:01:54]

The summers are hot in hannibal[00:02:06]

The summers there are unbearable[00:02:14]

So we'd steal down to the water's edge[00:02:23]

And cool off in the river's ebb[00:02:31]

One night we decided what we would do[00:02:42]

Swim to the middle til our strength gave out[00:02:50]

Where the current was strong and deep[00:02:59]

Together we'd be pulled down to sleep[00:03:07]

So we swam til our bodies were weak[00:03:18]

I watched my true love get washed out to sea[00:03:26]

I felt a terrible grip from beneath[00:03:35]

The river took her but it didn't take me[00:03:43]

In St. Louis there's a prison cell[00:04:26]

Be twelve more years til I get out[00:04:34]

When I do her father says he'll shoot me down[00:04:42]

If I don't do it myself[00:04:50]

Most days I just try and sleep[00:05:01]

I dream of hannibal when it was in between[00:05:09]

It's not quite day and it's not yet night[00:05:17]

We fall asleep to the barges and the fireflies[00:05:25]
