Ain't Them Bodies Saints Page #5

came from somewhere,

and they got me.

They got me pretty good.

They didn't get me good enough.

See... Ohh.

Tell your daddy who you gave a

ride to today.

Okay. Who?

What? Who are you?

Hey!

Drop it!

It's all right.

You remember...

Remember the first run you ever

did for me?

Huh? Heh. You and Freddy.

The very first one.

Nah, I never did nothing for you, sir.

You both thought you were so

tough.

You were little boys.

Ohh.

I want to go home.

I was on the line with Morgan

10 minutes ago... told him how

it happened.

No, no, no.

You get 'em back on the phone

'till they come down here.

I don't know who did what to

who. Did you get an I.D. Yet?

No.

I mean, yeah, but he was just

some son of a b*tch up near

burleson.

Who knows?

Skerritt went out like a sucker, huh?

I'm gonna take Ruth on home.

No, I got Teddy doing that.

Yeah, I'm gonna take her.

Wait here.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm gonna call an ambulance.

I've been waiting for you.

Stop it. That tickles.

I thought that's what we're

supposed to do... sing to 'em.

Just talk.

Well...

Let me tell you about something.

I'm gonna tell you about the

future.

In the future, I'm a very old

man.

And I'm standing in the door.

We're in a house.

It's our house, somewhere far

away from here, where everything

is green and the

sun is almost set.

And where we're standing, the way I see it,

we're waving to somebody.

And maybe that somebody is you,

come to see us after

a long time gone.

If it is you...

We are very happy to see you.

Hey, sweetie.

Tell me more about that house.

I'm not talking to you.

It's big... Maybe a farm.

It's old. It's older than us.

At the same time, though,

I feel like maybe I built it.

There's no telling.

There's just no telling.

# Left your home at 23

# suitcase full of gin

# thought you had the perfect...

getaway #

# Stole yourself across the hills #

# You stole, you stole again

# Now the lights don't shine

'cause you're away #

# You stuffed that suitcase full

with dirty $100 bills #

# Leaving for another holiday

# Found yourself surrounded by

the city's finest clowns #

# Now the lights don't shine

while you're away #

# Must have been a memory put

you out to sea #

# You were never one for big

displays #

# Well, the devil seems to think

# these complications suit you well #

# 'cause the lights don't shine

while you're away #

# Starin' at that picture in

your mama's dining room #

# Taken just before your

birthday #

# She keeps asking if I know

when you'll be coming home #

# 'Cause the lights don't shine

while you're away #
