Charlie Robison Molly`s Blues Lyrics

Molly`s Blues Lyrics

I will see you in the morning

When the moonlight leaves the trees

But I will always feel the embers

Of the flames in Tennessee



I was sleeping when they came knocking

They said boy you better leave

Said South Nashville is rocking

And they can't get no relief



So I run and put my pants on

And I run to get my car

But the flames they was a rising

And I didn't get to far



There was a black man on the corner

He said boy just turn away

I got a gun here in my pocket

And I will take your life away



So I showed the man your picture

And I said we had a son

And I was just up here from Texas

I wasn't hurting anyone



So I run out to the highway

And I finally caught a ride

With some white trash outta towner

With his wife and kids inside



So I sit here on the roadside

And I talk to your machine

I can see the flames a rising

Over Nashville Tennessee



Well, don't go out looking on your TV

They gonna keep this all discreet

They will never tell the secrets

Of the flames in Tennessee



You know I hope she don't discover

That this all was all just a lie

But If I don't get home to see her

Then my heart will surely die



I will see you in the morning

When the moonlight leaves the trees

But I will always feel the embers

Of The flames in Tennessee

The night they burned down Nashville Tennessee
