Hollis brown he lived on the outside of town hollis brown he lived on the outside of town with his wife and five children and his cabin broken down well you looked for work and money and you walked a rugged mile you looked for work and money and you walked a rugged mile your children are so hungry that they don't know how to smile your baby's eyes look crazy they're tuggin' at your sleeve your baby's eyes look crazy they're tuggin' at your sleeve you walk the floor and wonder why with every breath you breathe the rats have got your flour bad blood it got your mare the rats have got your flour bad blood it got your mare is there anyone who knows Letras de cancionesis there anyone who cares? so you pray to the lord above please send you a friend you pray to the lord above please send you a friend but your empty pockets tell you you ain't got no friend your baby's crying louder now it's pounding in your brain your baby's crying louder now it's pounding in your brain your wife's screams are stabbing you like dirty, drivin' rain your grass is turnin' black there's no water in your well your grass is turnin' black there's no water in your well you spent your last dollar on seven shotgun shells way out in the wilderness a cold coyote calls way out in the wilderness a cold coyote calls your eyes fix on that shotgun that's handgun' on the wall your brain is a-bleedin' now your legs can't seem to stand your brain is a-bleedin' now your legs can't seem to stand your eyes fix on that shotgun you're holdin' in your hand there's seven breezes blown all around the cabin door there's seven breezes blown all around the cabin door seven shots ring out like the ocean's pounding roar there's seven people dead on a south dakota farm there's seven people dead on a south dakota farm somewhere in the distance seven new people are born (Thanks to Marielle H for these lyrics) From Letras Mania
