Pineola Lyrics - Singles - Lucinda Williams

When Daddy told me what happened 

I couldn't believe what he just said 

Sonny shot himself with a 44 

And they found him lyin' on his bed 

I could not speak a single word 

No tears streamed down my face 

I just sat there on the living room couch 

Starin' off into space 

Mama and Daddy went over to the house 

To see what had to be done 

They took the sheets off of the bed 

And they went to call someone

Some of us gathered at a friend's house 

To help each other ease the pain 

I just sat alone in a corner chair 

I couldn't say much of anything 

We drove on out to the country 

His friends all stood around 

Subiaco Cemetery 

Is where we lay him down 

I saw his mama, she was standin' there 

His sister, she was there too 

I saw them look at us standin' around the grave 

And not a soul they knew 

Born and raised in Pineola 

His mama believed in the Pentecost 

She got the preacher to say some words 

So his soul wouldn't be lost

Some of us, we stood in silence 

Some bowed their heads and prayed 

I think I must've picked up a handful of dust 

And let it fall over his grave 

I think I must've picked up a handful of dust 

And let it fall over his grave
