The Devil’s Elbow – Daniel Amos – letras

There by the Sumac and the thicket of the evergreensCarved our names next to the others in Pacific City beamsWe passed the faded billboards and all those tumbleweed dreamsNow it’s on the Devil’s ElbowHad a sizzilin Tbone, vegetable and friesand a Roquefort side-salad for a buck twenty fiveWe can fill our bellies, watch the river riseDown at the Devil’s ElbowAnd Dotty the waitress says « When we quit,We’ll lock the doors and that’ll be itNo more chicken in a basket or chili supper benefitsIn and out of the Devil’s ElbowWell lumberjacks gave it it’s infamous nameTThe Big Piney River has the bend to blameAnd the log jams are the only claim to fameThere at the Devil’s ElbowAnd it’s a threat to the old folks and it’s death to youthJammed up so bad you won’t get looseYour only escape is if you know the truthWhen you get to the Devil’s ElbowThere by the Sumac and the thicket of the evergreensCarved our names next to the others in Pacific City beamsPassed the faded billboards and all those tumbleweed dreamsNow it’s on the Devil’s Elbow
