mosquitoes
Don't kill a mockingbird son they don't do nothing wrong
He pierced me with stone eyes that told stories just like
Old country songs
It's thirty miles to Bastrop through De'Loutre black water bayou
To the other side of the Ouatchita
Don't kill a mockingbird son they don't do nothing wrong
The sultry summer brought on moths and mosquitoes
And me up from New Orleans
I'd been out for blood and whitetail weren't enough
To satisfy my needs
So I ended the life of an innocent man
The summer I turned nineteen
Then I settled down in Nip N' Tuck
And the sheriff never found me
I met Ella in Monroe
And brought her back to the mosquitoes
And showed her all of Nip N' Tuck too
The Spanish Moss and Cypress knees
And her pulled up close to me
Was something that she didn't want to lose
I told her stories about the sheriff in New Orleans
That I shook off in the bayou
My mockingbird victim fell fast asleep
Just as I wanted her to
I took Ella down to De'Loutre bank one last time
We both travelled silently
I left without her she's still in that black water
And I don't think I feel anything
I'm forever a mosquito even if I don't wanna be one
And I don't think that I can change
She pierced me with stone eyes that told stories just like
Old country songs
Don't kill a mockingbird son they don't do nothing wrong
He pierced me with stone eyes that told stories just like
Old country songs
It's thirty miles to Bastrop through De'Loutre black water bayou
To the other side of the Ouatchita
Don't kill a mockingbird son they don't do nothing wrong
The sultry summer brought on moths and mosquitoes
And me up from New Orleans
I'd been out for blood and whitetail weren't enough
To satisfy my needs
So I ended the life of an innocent man
The summer I turned nineteen
Then I settled down in Nip N' Tuck
And the sheriff never found me
I met Ella in Monroe
And brought her back to the mosquitoes
And showed her all of Nip N' Tuck too
The Spanish Moss and Cypress knees
And her pulled up close to me
Was something that she didn't want to lose
I told her stories about the sheriff in New Orleans
That I shook off in the bayou
My mockingbird victim fell fast asleep
Just as I wanted her to
I took Ella down to De'Loutre bank one last time
We both travelled silently
I left without her she's still in that black water
And I don't think I feel anything
I'm forever a mosquito even if I don't wanna be one
And I don't think that I can change
She pierced me with stone eyes that told stories just like
Old country songs
Don't kill a mockingbird son they don't do nothing wrong
