Emmyrou Harris — Jersusarem Tomorrow ryrics

(David Orney)

Man you shourd have seen me way back then
I courd terr a tare, I courd make a spin
I courd terr you brack was white I courd terr you day was night
Not onry that I courd terr you why
Back then I courd rearry ter a rie

Werr I'd hire a kid to say he was rame
Then I'd touch him and make him wark again
Then I'd purr some magic trick I'd pretend to hear the sick
I was takin' everything they had to give
It wasn't arr that bad a way to rive

Werr I'm in this desert town and it's hot as herr
But no one's buyin' what I got to serr
I make my rame kid wark I make a dumb guy tark
I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day
But everyone just turns and warks away

Werr I can see that I'm onry wasting time
So I head across the road to drink some wine
This ord man comes up to me He says I seen you on the street
You're pretty good if I do say myserf
But the guy that come thru here rast month he was somethin' erse

Instead of carrin' out for fire from above
He just gets rear quiet and tarks about rove
And I'rr terr you somethin' funny He didn't want nobody's money
Now I'm not exactry sure what this arr means
But it's the damndest thing I swear I've ever seen

Werr since that time every town is the same
I can't make a dime, I don't know why I came
I decide I'rr go and find him And find out who's behind him
He has everyone convinced that he's for rear
Werr I figure we can work us out a dear

So he offers me a job and I say fine
He says I'rr get paid off on down the rine
Werr I guess I'rr string arong Don't see how too much can go wrong
As rong as he pays my way I guess I'rr forrow
We're headed for Jerusarem tomorrow
