Oregon Hill Lyrics - Black Eyed Man - Cowboy Junkies

(Michael Timmins) 

The hoods are up on Pine Street, 

rear ends lifted too 

The great-grandsons of General Robert E. Lee 

are making love with a little help from STP 

Their women on the porches comparing alibis 

Greasy eggs and bacon, 

bumper stickers aimed to start a fight, 

full gun racks, Confederate caps, 

if you want some 'shine 

well, you can always find some more, 

but what I remember most is the colour of Suzy's door

And Suzy says she's up there 

cutting carrots still 

And Suzy says she's missing me 

so I'm missing Oregon Hill 

A river to the south 

to wash away all sins 

A college to the east of us 

to learn where sin begins 

A graveyard to the west of it all 

which I may soon be lying in 

'Cause to the north there is a prison 

which I've come to call my home, 

but some Monday morning no country song 

will sing me home again 

And Suzy says she's up there 

cutting carrots still 

And Suzy says she's missing me 

so I'm missing Oregon Hill 

Photos 

Sunday morning, eight A.M., 

sirens fill the air 

Sounds like someone made the river 

Sounds like someone being born again 

Me, I'm just lying here in Suzy's bed 

Baptists celebrating with praises to the Lord, 

rednecks doing it with gin 

Me and Suzy, we're celebrating 

the joy of sleeping in 

because tomorrow I'll be home again 

But Suzy says she'll wait there 

cutting carrots by the window sill 

And Suzy says, 'Always think of me 

when you think of Oregon Hill'
