Braxie in the Pines

Описание: LYRICS

Down in Braxton County where the hills roll green and deep
Past the old gas station where the town is fast asleep
I remember Mama told me stories of the night
When the sky cracked open with a strange and burning light
We were just some youngsters with our flashlights in our hands
Chasing down a mystery across the hollowed lands
Up on Fisher's farm where the shadows start to grow
We saw something moving in a greenish silver glow

Oh she’s ten feet tall with a heart of mystery
The Flatwoods Monster in our mountain history
With a pleated skirt of iron and those glowing orange eyes
She’s our velvet-hooded lady underneath the starry skies
Just a Braxton County neighbor that the world don’t understand
The queen of West Virginia in the shadow of the land

Folks they call her scary and they say she’s from the stars
But she’s been a part of us like these old rusted cars
I think she was just lonely when she landed on that hill
Looking for a home where the evening air is chill
She didn't come for trouble and she didn't come for war
Just a traveler looking for an open cabin door
Now we put her on the chairs and we paint her on the glass
Smiling at the tourists every time the wagons pass

Oh she’s ten feet tall with a heart of mystery
The Flatwoods Monster in our mountain history
With a pleated skirt of iron and those glowing orange eyes
She’s our velvet-hooded lady underneath the starry skies
Just a Braxton County neighbor that the world don’t understand
The queen of West Virginia in the shadow of the land

Some see a phantom and some see a fright
But I see a friend in the middle of the night
She’s the spirit of the timber and the secret of the mist
A mountain girl legend that the heavens went and kissed

Oh she’s ten feet tall with a heart of mystery
The Flatwoods Monster in our mountain history
With a pleated skirt of iron and those glowing orange eyes
She’s our velvet-hooded lady underneath the starry skies
Just a Braxton County neighbor that the world don’t understand
The queen of West Virginia in the shadow of the landYeah she’s hauntingly beautiful in the Braxton County pines
Watching over all of us until the morning shines
Sleep tight Braxie, sleep tight tonight
Underneath the West Virginia pale moonlight
