Molly's Blues Lyrics - Singles - Charlie Robison

I will see you in the morning 

When the moonlight leaves the trees 

But I will always feel the embers 

Of the flames in Tennessee 

I was sleeping when they came knocking 

They said boy you better leave 

Said South Nashville is rocking 

And they can't get no relief 

So I run and put my pants on 

And I run to get my car 

But the flames they was a rising 

And I didn't get to far 

There was a black man on the corner 

He said boy just turn away 

I got a gun here in my pocket 

And I will take your life away 

So I showed the man your picture 

And I said we had a son 

And I was just up here from Texas 

I wasn't hurting anyone 

So I run out to the highway 

And I finally caught a ride 

With some white trash outta towner 

With his wife and kids inside 

So I sit here on the roadside 

And I talk to your machine 

I can see the flames a rising 

Over Nashville Tennessee 

Well, don't go out looking on your TV 

They gonna keep this all discreet 

They will never tell the secrets 

Of the flames in Tennessee 

You know I hope she don't discover 

That this all was all just a lie 

But If I don't get home to see her 

Then my heart will surely die 

I will see you in the morning 

When the moonlight leaves the trees 

But I will always feel the embers 

Of The flames in Tennessee 

The night they burned down Nashville Tennessee
