Lyrics C Sections and Railway Trestles - The Avett Brothers
You're
long
and
strong
like
a
railway
trestle
Dad
just
a
muscle
and
mama
just
a
vessel
Meant
to
call,
fawn
over,
nuzzle
and
nestle
But
Dad's
just
a
bear
you
can
tackle
down
and
wrestle
Son,
give
me
time,
I'm
a
bona
fide
mess'll
If
Mama
says
no,
maybe
Dad'll
say
yes'll
Did
you
do
wrong?
well,
go
ahead
confess'll
Dad
just
a
muscle
and
mama
just
a
vessel
You
all
blue
and
your
mama
like
a
rattle
Came
out
looking
like
a
Smurf
in
a
battle
Me
in
the
nosebleeds,
Mama
in
the
saddle
Brave
like
a
Sioux
Brave
going
into
battle
Emotion
going
like
a
stampede
of
cattle
Real
like
rain
and
coffee
in
Seattle
Anesthesiologist
fiddle
and
faddle
You
all
blue
and
your
mama
like
a
rattle
Oh,
life
so
clear
like
a
Rivera
mural
Lucifer's
teeth
introduce
the
epidural
Dr.
Jones,
do
you
need
a
heaven
referral?
God
sent
ya
down
to
me
and
my
girl
She's
long
and
tall
and
healthy
as
hell
But
the
plan
went
to
hell
when
the
little
fella
fell
Boy
went
headfirst
into
her
pelvis
1956
shaking
like
Elvis
Oh,
yesterday
born
and
already
thinking
Body
like
a
Ford
and
a
mind
like
Lincoln
Mama
and
Papa
in
love
and
sinking
Into
a
brand
new
situation,
drinking
Up
coffee
like
a
fish
on
second
and
third
shift
Lovin'
every
single
ever-loving
minute
of
this
Let
me
get
close
wanna
give
my
son
one
kiss
on
his
head
Planning
for
the
future,
health
and
dental
Picking
up
my
baby
boy,
easy
and
gentle
Soup
for
the
family,
sausage
and
lentil
Beans
and
greens,
arugula
and
fentel
Don't
never
sleep
I'm
about
to
go
mental
But
nothing
so
far
has
been
accidental
Can't
keep
my
life,
so
it's
got
to
be
a
rental
Picking
up
my
baby
boy,
easy
and
gentle
Oh,
you're
long
and
strong
like
a
railway
trestle
Dad
just
a
muscle
and
mama
just
a
vessel
Meant
to
call,
fawn
over
cuddle
and
nestle
But
Dad's
just
a
bear
you
can
tackle
down
and
wrestle
You
can
have
a
pop-tent
or
you
can
have
a
castle
Try
to
change
people
but
it's
gonna
be
a
hassle
Don't
have
to
be
an
astronaut
for
NASA
But
it's
always
good
to
get
a
gown
and
a
tassel
Son,
have
fun
with
your
life,
it's
a
drama
Just
one
period
and
all
kinds
of
commas
Now
you
got
a
onesie
but
then
you
get
pajamas
You
know
you
got
me
and
you
know
ya
got
your
mama
