In the Pines

I saw Jesus preaching at me from a sign on the side of the road
And beneath was a cross in the ground where they found you cold
That night your mother cried for Peter, Paul and Mary
And she cried for the Holy Ghost
So we laid her in the church, there's nowhere else to go
For the people 'round here

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun it never shines
And you shiver where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun it never shines
And you shiver where the cold wind blows

Nowhere in town to run around hiding under bleachers
Smoking cigarettes during the game
And you were nowhere to be found when the teacher called out your name
You found your ways to slip away
Ya stole the pills from your daddy and you drove his car in the rain
And you said before you left that you didn't know how I could stay
With the people 'round here

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun it never shines
And you shiver where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun it never shines
And you shiver where the cold wind blows

Ooh oh, oh oh
Ooh oh, oh oh
Ooh oh, oh oh
Ooh oh, oh oh, ooh oh

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun it never shines
And you shiver where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun it never shines
And you shiver where the cold wind blows, cold wind blows
