Powderfinger - Cowboy Junkies[00:00:00]
Written by:Neil Young[00:00:01]
Look out mama there's a[00:00:11]
White boat coming down the river[00:00:13]
With a big red beacon and a[00:00:21]
Flag and a man on the rail[00:00:24]
I think you'd better call John[00:00:32]
Cause it don't look like they're[00:00:35]
Here to deliver[00:00:37]
The mail[00:00:41]
And it's less than a mile away[00:00:43]
I hope they didn't come to stay[00:00:49]
It's got numbers on the side and a gun[00:00:54]
And it's making big waves[00:00:58]
Daddy's gone my brothers[00:01:17]
Out hunting in the mountains[00:01:20]
Big johns been drinking since[00:01:27]
The river took emmy lou[00:01:30]
So the powers that be left me[00:01:38]
Here to do all the thinking[00:01:41]
And I just turned twenty two[00:01:49]
I was wondering what to do[00:01:54]
And the closer they got[00:02:00]
The more those feelings grew[00:02:02]
Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassuring[00:02:22]
He told me red means run[00:02:32]
Son numbers add up to nothing[00:02:35]
But when that first shot hit the dock[00:02:43]
I saw it coming[00:02:48]
Raised the rifle to my eye[00:02:54]
Never stopped to wonder why[00:03:00]
Then I saw black and[00:03:06]
My face flash in the sky[00:03:08]
Shelter me from the[00:04:32]
Powder and the finger[00:04:35]
Cover me with the thought[00:04:43]
That pulled the trigger[00:04:48]
Just think of me as[00:04:54]
One[00:04:57]
You never figured[00:04:59]
To fade away so young[00:05:05]
With so much left undone[00:05:10]
Remember me to my love[00:05:15]
I know I'll miss her[00:05:20]
