It'll Be OK?
Counting the railway ties
Hiking north out of Portland Maine
The rails are rusted heavily
Been a while since they've felt a train
And, oh, that Baptist preacher
How I hate those words he said
That she'd never get to heaven
She hadn't let into her heart a good man long dead
She hadn't had that water spread across her forehead
And when she was high
She was queen of the sky
She was a delight to be around
But she took all that she could take
She never wanted to come down
And when that Baptist preacher
He earns his just reward
I know she'll be up there in Heaven
To greet him when he walks through the door
Oh, I bet she'll wink at him when he walks through the door
You lost and lonesome lovely
Strung out in the night
I hope you find some comfort
Hope you find some peace of mind
You torn and tattered angel
Running from the pain
I think you knew the path you chose
Could only end one way
When you skinned your knee
Did your momma hold you
Tell you it'll be OK?
Afraid at night
Did poppa hold you tight
Say honey it'll be OK?
Did all the grownups
There to guide and protect you
Promise it'll be OK?
My feet are warm to the fire
Got a tarp to keep me dry
My back against this old white pine
I think I'll hang out here a while
She was lost, she was lonely
And she did not want to be found
And when I tried to help her
Oh, she just didn't want me around
She could burn me to the ground
With her frown
You lost and lonesome lovely
Strung out in the night
I hope you find some comfort
Hope you find some peace of mind
You torn and tattered angel
Running from the pain
I think you knew the path you chose
Could only end one way
When you skinned your knee
Did your momma hold you
Tell you it'll be OK?
Afraid at night
Did poppa hold you tight
Say honey it'll be OK?
Did all those grownups
There to guide and protect you
Promise it'll be OK?
Did the wind in the trees
Whispering through the leaves
Say hey it'll be OK?
Did the babbling brook
Deep in the wood
Let you know it'll be OK?
Did the barn owl hootin'
Rootin' and a tootin'
Say--you know it'll be OK?
Did the coyote howlin'
Early in the morning
Let you know it'll be OK?
It'll be OK
It'll be OK
Hiking north out of Portland Maine
The rails are rusted heavily
Been a while since they've felt a train
And, oh, that Baptist preacher
How I hate those words he said

Oh, I bet she'll wink at him when he walks through the door

Hope you find some peace of mind
