Paroles de The Devil's Elbow

There by the Sumac and the thicket of the evergreens Carved our names next to the others in Pacific City beams We passed the faded billboards and all those tumbleweed dreams Now it's on the Devil's Elbow Had a sizzilin Tbone, vegetable and fries and a Roquefort side-salad for a buck twenty five We can fill our bellies, watch the river rise Down at the Devil's Elbow And Dotty the waitress says "When we quit, We'll lock the doors and that'll be it No more chicken in a basket or chili supper benefits In and out of the Devil's Elbow Well lumberjacks gave it it's infamous name TThe Big Piney River has the bend to blame And the log jams are the only claim to fame There at the Devil's Elbow And it's a threat to the old folks and it's death to youth Jammed up so bad you won't get loose Your only escape is if you know the truth When you get to the Devil's Elbow There by the Sumac and the thicket of the evergreens Carved our names next to the others in Pacific City beams Passed the faded billboards and all those tumbleweed dreams Now it's on the Devil's Elbow
