April The 14th (Part 1)
Lyricist:David Rawlings, Gillian Welch
When the iceberg hit Oh, they must have known God moves on the water Like Casey Jones
So I walked downtown On my telephone And took a lazy turn Through the red eye zone
It was a five-band bill A two-dollar show I saw the van out in front From Idaho
And the girl passed out In the backseat trash There was no way they'd make Even a half a tank of gas
They looked sick and stoned And strangely dressed No one showed From the local press
But I watched 'em walk Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Through the bottom land And I wished I played In a rock 'n' roll band
Hey, hey It was the 14th day of April
Well they closed it down With the sails in rags And the swept up the fags And the local rags
Threw the plastic cups In the plastic bags And the cooks cleaned the kitchen With the staggers and the jags
Ruination day And the sky was red I went back to work And back to bed
And the iceberg broke And the Okies fled And the Great Emancipator Took a bullet in the back of the head
