Bob Dylan - New Danville Girl (Empire Burlesque Outtake) paroles de chanson

paroles de chanson New Danville Girl (Empire Burlesque Outtake) - Bob Dylan



I wish I could remember that movie just a little bit better
All I remember about it was that it starred Gregory Peck
He was shot down in the back by a hungry kid
Trying to get a name for himself
Townspeople wanted to crush that kid down
And string him up by the neck
Well, the sheriff beat that boy into a bloody pulp
As the dying gunfighter lay in the sun
And gasped for his last breath
Turn him loose, let him go
Let him say he outdrew me fair and square
I want him to feel what it's like to every moment face his death
Well, I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes rolling in
And it blows right through me like a ball and chain
You know I can't believe we've lived so long
And are still so far apart
Your memory keeps callin' up to me like a rollin' train
I can still see the day that you came to me on the painted desert
In your busted-down Ford and your platform heels
Could never figure out why you chose that particular place to meet
Ah, but you were right, it was perfect, as I got in behind the wheel
We drove that car all night into San Antone
And we slept near the Alamo, fell out under the stars
Way down in Mexico you went out to see a doctor
And you never came back
I stayed there a while,
'Til the whole place it started feelin' like Mars
Well, I'm driving this car
And the sun is comin' up over the Rockies
Somethin' about it reminds me of you
Like when she sings, "Baby, let the good times roll"
Ah, but I'm too over the edge
To remember the things we used to talk about or do
And she don't want to remind me
She knows this car would go out of control
Oh, Danville Girl, with your Danville curl
Teeth like pearls, shining like the moon above
Danville Girl, take me all around the world
Danville Girl, you're my honey love
Well, we crossed the Panhandle
And then we headed out towards Amarillo
Rushin' down where Henry Porter used to live
He owned a wreckin' lot outside of town
We could see Ruby in the window
As we came rolling up in a trail of dust
She said, "Henry's not here, he took off
But y'all can come in and stay a while"
Well, she told us times were tough
But we never knew how bad off she was
You know she would change the subject
Every time money came up
You know her eyes were filled with so much sadness
She was so disillusioned with everything
She said, "Even the swap meets around here
Are getting pretty corrupt"
"How far y'all goin'?", Ruby asked us with a sigh
"We're going all the way
'Til the wheels fall off and burn
'Til the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade
And the water moccasin dies"
Ruby just smiled and said "Oh, you know
Some babies never learn"
Well, I keep trying to remember that movie though
And it does keep comin' back
But I can't remember what part I played
Or who I was supposed to be
All I can remember about it is it's starring Gregory Peck
And he was in it, and everything he did in it
Reminded me of me, yeah!
Oh, Danville Girl, with your Danville curl
Teeth like pearls, shining like the moon above
Danville Girl, take me all around the world
Danville Girl, you're my honey love
Well, they were looking for somebody with a pompadour
I was crossing the street when they opened fire
I didn't know whether to duck or to run, so I ran
Sounded to me like I was being chased
By the midnight choir
Well, you saw my picture in the Corpus Christi Tribune
Underneath it said, "A man with no alibi"
You went out on a limb to testify and you said I was with you
Ah, yes you did!
And I watched you break down in front of the judge and cry
Ah, it was the best acting I ever saw you do
Now, I've always been an emotional person
But this time it was asking too much
If there's an original thought out there
Oh, I could use it right now!
Yeah, I feel pretty good, but you know
I could feel a whole lot better, oh yes I could
If you were just here by my side
To show me how
Well, I'm standing in line in the rain
To see a movie starring Gregory Peck
Oh yes I am!
But it's not the one that I had in mind
He's got a new one out now
You know it just don't look the same
But I'll see him anyway and I stand in line
Oh, Danville Girl, with your Danville curl
Teeth like pearls, shining like the moon above
Oh, Danville Girl, take me all around the world
Danville Girl, you're my honey love
You know, it's funny how people
Just want to believe what's convenient
Nothing happens on purpose
It's an accident if it happens at all
And everything that's happening to us
Seems like it's happening without our consent
But we're busy talking back and forth to our shadows
On an old stone wall
Oh, you got to talk to me now baby
Tell me about the man that you used to love
And tell me about your dreams
Just before the time you passed out
Oh, yeah!
Tell me about the time that our engine broke down
And it was the worst of times
Tell me about all the things I couldn't do nothin' about
There was a movie I've seen one time
And I think I sat through it twice.
I don't remember who I was or -
Or what part I played
All I remember about it
Was that it was starring Gregory Peck
But that was a long time ago
And it was made in the shade
Yeah!
Danville Girl, with your Danville curl
Teeth like pearls, shining like the moon above
Danville Girl, take me all around the world
Danville Girl, you're my honey love
Oh, Danville Girl, with your Danville curl
Teeth like pearls, shining like the moon above
Danville Girl, take me all around the world
Danville Girl, you're my honey love
