In The Pines

I saw Jesus preaching at me from a sign on the side of the road And beneath was a cross in the ground where they found you cold That night your mother cried for Peter, Paul and Mary And she cried for the Holy Ghost So we laid her in the church, there's nowhere else to go For the people 'round here In the pines, in the pines Where the sun, it never shines And you shiver when the cold wind blows In the pines, in the pines Where the sun, it never shines And you shiver when the cold wind blows Nowhere in town to run around Hiding under bleachers, smoking cigarettes during the game And you were nowhere to be found when the teacher called out your name You found your ways to slip away You stole the pills from your daddy and you drove his car in the rain And you said 'fore you left that you didn't know how I could stay With the people 'round here In the pines, in the pines Where the sun, it never shines And you shiver when the cold wind blows In the pines, in the pines Where the sun, it never shines And you shiver when the cold wind blows In the pines, in the pines Where the sun, it never shines And you shiver when the cold wind blows In the pines, in the pines Where the sun, it never shines And you shiver when the cold wind blows The cold wind blows
