Devils In Boston

by Samantha Crain and the Midnight Shivers

on Songs in the Night (2009)

I'd like to say that the red got lost,
It wasn't me
But I'm too damn far away from tornado alley
My father and his father were strong men
not strong enough to keep me from running off to boston

my momma said, Devil 'll meet you at the railroad tracks
I ain't seen nothin' but subways here in boston
my momma said devil'll meet you at the willow tree
I ain't seen none of those but the sidewalk
wherefore, is the tree?

I'd like to say that I never think about little things, honestly
That'd be a tall tale bigger than any one I could raise
My father and his father were comforting men
But around here, he'd have to be tucked in.

But will they tread?

my momma said, Devil 'll meet you at the railroad tracks
I ain't seen nothin' but subways here in boston
my momma said devil'll meet you at the willow tree
I ain't seen none of those but the sidewalk
wherefore, is the tree?

No railroad tracks, no willow tree x4

my momma said, Devil 'll meet you at the railroad tracks
I ain't seen nothin' but subways here in boston
my momma said devil'll meet you at the willow tree
I ain't seen none of those but the sidewalk
wherefore, is the tree?
