Bluegrass Pines

[Verse 1: Little Feat] Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines Where the wide wide river of whiskey winds Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines Glory in the territory sanctuary chimes [Chorus: Little Feat, All] Wanted to tell you ‘bout a friend of mine One of, you could call it, the roving kind Life seems short when you live forever Wasn’t so smart but pretty damn clever The Whisky River in the Bluegrass Pines [Verse 2: Little Feat, All] Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines Where the wide widе river of whiskey winds Deep away in the Bluеgrass Pines Glory in the territory sanctuary chimes [Chorus: Little Feat, All] We both belonged to the same damn chain gang Me & my late friend Lash LaRue Wait ‘til morning when the tide rolls out For things we’d rather not talk about The Whisky River in the Bluegrass Pines [Verse 2: Little Feat, All] Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines Where the wide wide river of whiskey winds Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines Glory in the territory sanctuary chimes [Bridge: Little Feat, All] Deep in the Bluegrass Forest at Midnight Moon turned down as soft as candlelight Mandolins stutter and banjos frail While the last electric stars grow pale The patter of twilight guitars creep From under the bracken where they sleep Tones of strings a-tuning Full choir of bullfrogs crooning [Break: All] Deep away Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines Glory in the territory sanctuary chimes [Chorus: Little Feat, All] Set out on gator back from Lake Diane A twelve-string banjo in my left hand Busted up seven along the way Fives’s all I got left to play Days gone by out on the run What little good or harm we done Those who died, the rest still dyin’ By the Whiskey river in the Bluegrass Pines [Verse 3: Little Feat, All] Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines (Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines) Glory in the territorycemetery chimes Been on the wagon ninety-nine years Make it one more, you owe me a beer [Outro: Little Feat, All] Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines Where the wide wide river of whiskey winds Deep away in the Bluegrass Pines Glory in the territory sanctuary chimes
