Rodney DeCroo Night Field Again lyrics

Yankee hotel forlorn, I heard that a babe was born,
I found a gold watch lying in the hall.
A woman came right out of her room,
She passed by close said are you leaving soon?
No momma, not if you're staying awhile.
A greenback dollar won't get you no home,
boy you know you've been so stoned,
ever since before you could crawl.

Standing out in that night field again,
see the lightning, feel the rain.
Standing out in that night field again,
count the shame...

Barroom girls and paper wings,
I never met her but I like it when she sings,
she made me cry once on the radio.
But Captain Soul he caught that train,
and now you know, everything has changed,
well, my skin's getting kind of thin.
Cause every time you come around,
you tear my silhouette right down.
I'm getting tired of making love
to the wind.


Standing out in that night field again,
see the lightning, feel the rain.
Standing out in that night field again,
count the shame...

Easy Rider got some dandelion wine,
he was lying in the sun, he was feeling fine,
til them clouds rolled off the bay.
Oh man your box of smoke, another kind of rope,
pendulum swings back from hope,
I hear Oaxaca's nice this time of year.
Oh, but your Birmingham jail is a small, tight space,
sick and sober I stared you in the face,
oh that needle's gonna do me for awhile.

Standing out in that night field again,
see the lightning, feel the rain.
Standing out in that night field again,
count the shame...
