Текст песни They Called Him Lightning - Joseph Arthur

They called him Lightning and he flew the war
He was from Scotland
But he had to run to the shore
America it saw his fortune grow
He had a family and two sons
He never would know
I never knew him cause we barely spoke
Disowned my brother over money
No one would joke
His wife was drunk
But she still needed him
He brought her money and another bottle of gin
Now your mother gonna waste my time
Saying
What you are
What you are
She don't love nothing but a wasted spine
On a dirty floor
On the killing floor
You know most people
They will never change
They damn you young and we all just end up the same
I'm driving drunk but I can find the end
I'm looking for her in the
Eyes of some other friend
She looks at you and she can see her face
She looks at me and sees
Someone she wants to erase
You know one day she's gonna lay me down
You know one day she's gonna
Put me into the ground
Now your mother gonna waste my time
Saying
What you are
What you are
She don't love nothing but a wasted spine
On a dirty floor
On a killing floor
Now your mother gonna waste my time
Saying
What you are
What you are
She don't love nothing but a wasted spine
On a dirty floor
On the killing floor
There's a darkness in the heart of man
But you could be mine
You could be mine
There's a darkness in the heart of man
But you could be mine
You could be mine
There's a darkness in the heart of man
But you could be mine
You could be mine
