Things Fall Apart
"The Electric South"
:[ lyrics ]:
Old man sitting in a rocking chair
waves the flies from his face, he doesn't care
and he watches the road
Remembers back to a day when men were men
and in his mind he lives there again
and he's young and bold
Can you see time, this is real time
or is it 1943 in your soul?
Flowers in scalloped tires, rusted barbed wire
made your living in the cotton bowl
Oh mama you know, oh mama you know
Graduation night, hot and sweet,
a herd of new Trams cruise M.L. King
break the bank and score
Disappearing legends, disappearing grief
Watch and learn together from the satellite feed
'cause there's always more
Can you see time, this is real time
or is it 1943 in your soul?
Flowers in scalloped tires, rusted barbed wire
made your living in the cotton bowl
Oh mama you know, oh mama you know
