Thanksgiving (Album Version) - Mary Gauthier[00:00:00]
Written by:Mary Gauthier[00:00:01]
We stood in a long line waiting for the doors to be unlocked[00:00:06]
Out in the cold wind round the razor wire fenced in cellblock[00:00:20]
Young mamas with babies sisters and other kinds of kin[00:00:34]
At Tallulah State Prison on Thanksgiving Day were waiting to get in[00:00:48]
You gotta get here early it don't matter how many miles you drove[00:01:01]
They make you wait for hours jailers always move slow[00:01:15]
They run names check numbers[00:01:29]
Gravel faced guards they don't smile[00:01:34]
Grammy and me in line silently waiting single file[00:01:44]
Thanksgiving at the prison surrounded by families[00:01:57]
Road weary pilgrims who show up faithfully[00:02:12]
Sometimes love ain't easy sometimes love ain't free[00:02:24]
My grammy looks so old now[00:02:51]
Her hair is soft and white like the snow[00:02:56]
And her hands tremble[00:03:05]
When they frisk her from her head to her toes[00:03:09]
They make her take her winter coat off then they frisk her again[00:03:19]
When they're done she wipes their touch off her dress[00:03:32]
Stands tall and heads in[00:03:38]
Thanksgiving at the prison surrounded by families[00:03:46]
Road weary pilgrims who show up faithfully[00:04:01]
Even though it ain't easy even though it ain't free[00:04:13]
Sometimes love ain't easy I guess love ain't free[00:04:26]
