(Michael Timmins)
2
The hoods are up on Pine Street,
3
rear ends lifted too
4
The great-grandsons of General Robert E. Lee
5
are making love with a little help from STP
6
Their women on the porches comparing alibis
7
Greasy eggs and bacon,
8
bumper stickers aimed to start a fight,
9
full gun racks, Confederate caps,
10
if you want some 'shine
11
well, you can always find some more,
12
but what I remember most is the colour of Suzy's door
13
And Suzy says she's up there
14
cutting carrots still
15
And Suzy says she's missing me
16
so I'm missing Oregon Hill
17
A river to the south
18
to wash away all sins
19
A college to the east of us
20
to learn where sin begins
21
A graveyard to the west of it all
22
which I may soon be lying in
23
'Cause to the north there is a prison
24
which I've come to call my home,
25
but some Monday morning no country song
26
will sing me home again
27
And Suzy says she's up there
28
cutting carrots still
29
And Suzy says she's missing me
30
so I'm missing Oregon Hill
31
Sunday morning, eight A.M.,
32
sirens fill the air
33
Sounds like someone made the river
34
Sounds like someone being born again
35
Me, I'm just lying here in Suzy's bed
36
Baptists celebrating with praises to the Lord,
37
rednecks doing it with gin
38
Me and Suzy, we're celebrating
39
the joy of sleeping in
40
because tomorrow I'll be home again
41
But Suzy says she'll wait there
42
cutting carrots by the window sill
43
And Suzy says, 'Always think of me
44
when you think of Oregon Hill'
