Walking Into Clarksdale

When I was born I was running

As my feet hit the ground

Before I could talk I was humming

An old railroad sound

Things didn't get much better

When by the age of five

They found me walking into Clarksdale

Trying to keep my friends alive

No time for celebration

Now there's no known cure

Seeing I was born and raised

On the wrong killing floor

And my loved ones gathered round

To see the experiment at work

I was misplaced out of time

Never rich - never worse

Oh momma, please don't cry for me

Tears to the river - tears to be free

And I see twelve white horses walking in line

Moving east across the metal bridge

On highway forty-nine

And standing in the shadows of a burnt out motel

The King of Commerce Mississippia waited with his hound from hell

A shiny neon riverboat taking income from the poor

It's floating by the levee in an artifical pool

There's a six-mile tailback back out of junction 304

A stranger at the crossroads

I believe I'd seen his face before

Oh, don't cry for me

Tears fill the river - tears to be free

I'm sad to be leaving

The sun's gone down and I've really got to go now

Sad to be leaving

The sun's gone down - I've really got to go now

Yeah, really got to go now

I've got to go - I've got to move

Sad to be leaving

Sun's gone down - I've really got to go now

Sad to be leaving

The sun's gone down and I've really got to go now

Yeah, really got to go now

Andar em Clarksdale

Quando eu nasci, eu estava correndo

Como meu pés tocarem o chão

Antes que eu pudesse falar eu estava cantarolando

Um som de estrada de ferro velho

As coisas não ficaram muito melhor

Quando, por cinco anos de idade

Encontraram-me andar em Clarksdale

Tentando manter meus amigos vivos

Não há tempo para comemoração

Agora não há nenhuma cura conhecida

Vendo eu nasci e cresci

No chão matando errado

E meus entes queridos se reuniram em volta

Para ver a experiência no trabalho

Eu estava mal colocado fora do tempo

Nunca rica - nunca pior

Oh mãe, por favor, não chore por mim

Lágrimas ao rio - lágrimas de ser livre

E eu vejo doze cavalos brancos andar na linha

Movendo para o leste através da ponte metálica

Na auto-estrada 49

E de pé nas sombras de um motel queimada

Os reis do comércio Mississipi esperava com seu cão do inferno

Um barco de néon brilhante levando renda dos pobres

Ele está flutuando pelo dique em uma piscina artificial

Há um tailback de seis milhas de volta para fora da junção 304

Um estranho na encruzilhada

Eu acredito que eu tinha visto seu rosto antes de

Oh, não chore por mim

Lágrimas enchem o rio - lágrimas de ser livre

Estou triste por estar deixando

O sol se foi para baixo e eu realmente tenho que ir agora

Triste por estar deixando

O sol se foi para baixo - Eu realmente tenho que ir agora

Sim, realmente tenho que ir agora

Eu tenho que ir - Eu tenho que mover

Triste por estar deixando

Sol foi para baixo - Eu realmente tenho que ir agora

Triste por estar deixando

O sol se foi para baixo e eu realmente tenho que ir agora

Sim, realmente tenho que ir agora
