Roger’s Song Songtext
von Chokecherry

Sometimes I think that Jesus made me
For drinking beer and acting crazy
I guess he knows the things that I do right

We played our first show in Wisconsin
And Roger burned cigarettes through the stars
In the flag outside the American Legion
And the police followed us back to the Minnesota line

They said we better stop this way of living
Because in the end we′re only going to wind up dead
But they beat him with a bible until it broke him
And left him shooting up on the lonesome Texas railroad tracks


Sixteen years old sent him to an exorcist
He spoke in tongues so he parents would be proud of him
But they called the cops and they locked him up

The preacher spoke at Roger's
Funeral said that boy was never no good at all
Everyone in the crowd stood up and walked out

They said we better stop this way of living
Because in the end we′re only going to wind up dead
But they beat him with a bible until it broke him
And left him shooting up on the lonesome Texas railroad tracks

They said we better stop this way of living
Because in the end we're only going to wind up dead
But they beat him with that bible until it broke him
And left him shooting up on a lonesome Texas railroad track
And left him shooting up on those lonesome Texas railroad tracks
