What Are The Lyrics For John By Indigo Girls?
John knows to prune the crepe myrtles
Before it is their season Before the weather freezes He blows the pipe lines clean He worked for the fire department Until his injury Now he puts out the fires For the girl from the city His family's from these parts Before the white men got there Grows field corn on his lot Keeps the road and dead trees cleared He leaves a pile of brushwood For me to burn, it burns so pretty John's work is never done Helping the girl out from the city His mama goes to the local Baptist church His daddy's buried there His daddy did two tours of duty As a gunner in the war And was the first To greet and treat me like a neighbor John brings the country to me The girl from the city John knows that he could make a killing Selling rights to fish the trout To rich city men who come in Grilling and swilling So he'd rather do without Still he opens up the gates for me Atlanta groceries in my SUV Doesn't take to waste or finery But takes the girl in from the city His mama goes to the local Baptist church His daddy's buried there His daddy did two tours of duty As a gunner in the war And was the first To greet and treat me like a neighbor John brings the country to me The girl from the city And he kindly tolerates The wanderer in me Who wishes she were from Somewhere she would rather be Planting tender shoots Along a rushing stream Welt everybody has a dream The girl from the city |
