As Soon As You Get Here (you best be gone)

from Songs Of Wood And Wire (album) by WOLVEZ

/

lyrics

There where the road it meets the distance
On the bare earth is marked a spot
That house still stands there with you in it. You said as soon as you get here you best be gone

Back in the weeds there begs a question
Who’s door you dare to knock upon
I bring the message and the flowers so sweet
Said, as soon as you get here, you best be gone

——

There in the house there is a balcony
Fine City lights to look upon
Beyond that city lies a desert so dry
Says as soon as you get there, you best be gone

Down the road there stands a ramble
Two step/side step goin on
Over the din and the clatter so thick
She says as soon as you get here, you best be gone

——

Your daddy told you not to bother
With a man who slings a guitar on
He’ll bring his pretty tunes and his smile
so sweet, But as soon as he gets here, he’ll be gone

Your momma groomed you for the alter
Said you best know the road you’re on
Dare a blind turn, don’t even holler
For me

As soon as you get there, you’ll be gone

—-

Behind the walls you built tall with him
Presides the chambermaid you pay
She says although that door is open wide. As soon as you step through it you’ll be gone.

Out where the highway meets the distance
Beyond the mountains there’s only sea
But upon that sea there sails a tall tall ship. And as soon as you step on it you’ll be gone

—-

And now the ramble, it’s in shambles
Burned earth and bottles all around
Still in the dead of night you hear them guitars calling to you
But soon as you get there, they’ll be gone

As soon as you get there They’ll be gone

As soon as you get there They’ll be gone

Get gone now
