Faulkner County Blues (Shad)

Rees Shad

Summer nights ain’t cool like I remember

Seems we’re sliding South these days

If we slip into the ocean

Least we’ll cool off anyways

 

Since the Big trucks come up from the City

Feel the ground shaken night and day

Governor said, Ain’t no connection

You know someone’s getting paid

 

Faulkner County’s gone to Hell Ma

Ain’t no living here these days

Sure there’s jobs but I remember

How sweet that water used to taste

 

The ghost of Howard’s in the Hollow

Moaning Redemption songs and prayers

And with the memory of the people buried here

I feel his presence growing near

 

Faulkner County’s gone to Hell Ma

Ain’t no living here these days

Sure there’s jobs but I remember

How sweet that water used to taste

 

A host of troubles come to Conway

Poison bubbling from the ground

A different silence from this country

Came with the prosperity we found           

 

Faulkner County’s gone to Hell Ma

Ain’t no living here these days

Sure there’s jobs but I remember

How sweet that water used to taste
