It's James Now - Kelly Joe Phelps[00:00:01]
Well Double R J is older now [00:00:34]
He stays up watching the night snow fall[00:00:37]
Black bound book on the table [00:00:44]
Dusty beside card tricks and games[00:00:46]
Yeah one by one he cuts the names[00:00:52]
From the back of the daily news[00:00:54]
Laying side by side they make[00:00:56]
Quite a company of men[00:00:58]
Yeah and all the things they've done[00:01:04]
And not done glaring under the scope[00:01:06]
Double R J 's mom she called this[00:01:13]
Morning all is well back home[00:01:16]
"And how are you today [00:01:21]
My son" "Fine ma I'm fine"[00:01:23]
Seventeen pages set in place[00:01:26]
For a back line of memories[00:01:28]
Yeah the new one's fighting[00:01:50]
For space and concern[00:01:52]
Walter winks across the cue[00:01:54]
"My folks are goin' out today [00:01:59]
I've got some weed are you comin' "[00:02:01]
And it's twenty four years later [00:02:08]
The movie lot's still intact[00:02:10]
Tables buried under truck bones[00:02:12]
And machine shop tools[00:02:14]
Well Walter hasn't found his way[00:02:53]
From the park yet to page eighteen[00:02:55]
Oh and all those girls God [00:03:02]
What were their names [00:03:05]
Should've kept their pictures[00:03:06]
It's starting to blur on Double R J[00:03:10]
They're rolling into one[00:03:13]
Except for Elvin the snake and Indian George[00:03:14]
And the guy you couldn't scare[00:03:17]
And then first kiss on the playground[00:03:22]
Bought with sister's stolen ring[00:03:25]
So the odd discomfort shawl [00:03:31]
Drapes it across his bony wings[00:03:33]
As the loss of honest vision seers [00:03:39]
Pioneers and double dares[00:03:42]
Set your clothes on fire[00:03:44]
If you ever breathed a word[00:03:46]
And Double R J falls backwards [00:03:51]
He can see further away[00:03:54]
And Double R J falls backwards [00:04:00]
He can see further and further away[00:04:02]
