歌曲歌詞
It was '96 in south carolina
Thats the place and
not the goddam year
I was sittin on the
porch out at bobbys place
Just tuggin on a lukewarm beer
There i was peepin like
that old sidewinder
Just an inch or
so above the mud
The first to find out
that its rainin
Is the last to find
out its a flood
It was paradise valley nevada
Not far from where
the west was won
I am the only black face
in the whole damn place
Just a raisin
in the blazing sun
Here i am like that
old sidewinder
Just wishin that her
eggs aint hatched
And the chain i wear
has 'em wishin for
The day when it came
with a ball attached
So im gonna move right
outta this town
When this old skin
stops weighin me down
This old skin
He was sittin in the
very same spot
That otis sat to watch
the dock of the bay
In the very same spot
the ships rolled in
Now there's nothing
but the mud and the clay
Im gonna move right
outta this town
This old skin is
weighing me down
This old skin
Outside atlanta when
the sunshine state
Has just upped itself
another degree
I am the very last orange
of the whole years crop
Hangin dearly to
the branch of the tree
And the wind in the
spring couldn't do anything
So im burnin in
the sun of the south
That old sidewinder
in the dust below
Im just waiting till
it opens its mouth
So im gonna move right
