Flint River Pearl

Put a new song up on Youtube. It's an original and I actually can stand seeing it. It feels good to know I'm progressing toward my goals with this.

Flint River Pearl:

Four long nights I’ve only
Thought about her
Three short years since her soul
Flew this world

Two life terms I’m serving
In Lowndes prison cell
All for the love of the
Flint river pearl

Nothing more than a drunk kid
From Hern Road
An old shotgun the barrel
Hard and cold

The fire that night
Couldn’t be surrendered
Not for money sir
Silver or gold

Her auburn hair was dancing
In the harsh glow
From room fourteen of
The Colquitt County Inn

Smoked a few outside
And thought it over, Lord
The barrel cocked as
I came blasting in.

Four long nights I’ve only
Thought about her
Three short years since her soul
Flew this world

Two life terms I’m serving
In Lowndes prison cell
All for the love of the
Flint river pearl

I could smell the sweat
See all that stranger inside
My thoughts went black
As I heard her scream

The first kickback damn near
Broke my shoulder
But the second was like
Some kind of walking dream

The stranger was dead
Half his face was gone
As she lay trembling
With his blood all in her eyes

Well I climbed on top
And I took what I’d come for my God no
One more blast and it was
Darlin’ goodnight

Four long nights I’ve only
Thought about her
Three short years since her soul
Flew this world

Two life terms I’m serving
In Lowndes prison cell
All for the love of the
Flint river pearl
