They've Trapped Us Boys Lyrics - Women And Country - Jakob Dylan

Gentlemen where have we been 

Can't find the hole where we got in 

We ain't have no letters since spring 

Gentlemen where have we been 

We ain't going nowhere now 

I'll let this bottle make its rounds 

And let this liquor settle down 

We ain't going nowhere now 

Darker than ever in the mind 

I shine a light, shine a light 

Now, holler back now, make some noise 

I do believe they trapped us boys 

Now, fill the dirt back on the graves 

Ain't nothing good here being raised 

I look at the filthy mess we made 

Fill the dirt back on the graves 

We cut the fruit, we took the tree 

We chiseled all the branches free 

We took more than we'd ever need 

And we cut the fruit and we took the tree 

It's darker than ever in the mind 

I shine a light, shine a light 

Now, holler back now, make some noise 

I do believe they trapped us boys 

Can't have no one not toe the line 

Around here it's always 'round midnight 

We can't have no brothers left behind 

We can't have no one not toe the line 

That ain't the cavalry we heard 

It's the rain that's crashing on the earth 

I tell our women and our children we ain't hurt 

And no, that ain't the cavalry we heard 

It's darker than ever in the mind 

I shine a light, shine a light 

Now, holler back now, make some noise 

I do believe they trapped us boys
