lyrics

I can hear the sounds of them old freights
Through the seas of farm fields
I can hear the crashing of the summer rain
Through the gears of these old ferris wheels

There you are hanging fresh clean linen
With dogwoods in your eyes
I hate to leave you, but I must go to work
I’ve been singing songs now for quite sometime

Cheap roses and whiskey
High rollin’ women
Just a tease on your emotions
When the lights go down and your spinning

The real truth is where your born
You may travel just to weather the storm
But, I just want you to know that wherever I roam
These old tobacco fields are always signs of home

I hear the whispers on the road sometimes
But I trek just fine and straight
My mind may be in Arapahoe county
But my hearts on them Carolina freights

And if those whispers should turn into screams
In the middle of the day or in your dreams
I’ll do my best just to keep you awake
And keep the noises and the fears away

Cheap roses and whiskey
High rollin’ women
Just a tease on your emotions
When the lights go down and your spinning

The real truth is where your born
You may travel just to weather the storm
But, I just want you to know that wherever I roam
These old tobacco fields are always signs of home

There’s blue in these old mountains
But there’s red in my blood
From the hills of that old great piedmont
To the coastal water floods
We might have got a bad rap or two
But there’s good people down here
One who believes in equal rights and freedoms
And for that old southern reputation to disappear

Cheap roses and whiskey
High rollin’ women
Just a tease on your emotions
When the lights go down and your spinning

The real truth is where your born
You may travel just to weather the storm
But, I just want you to know that wherever I roam
These old tobacco fields are always signs of home
