Evergreen Songtext
von Sweet Vine

Quit my job on Tuesday
Wednesday morning I felt like sleeping in
Then Thursday night I got the call
Tell me all the trouble that I′m in
Well, I've been hearing promises
Thinking it′s time to act on them
But now cold feet are dragging
Pulling me down without a friend

And I said, oh, my Lord
You never know, you never know
Just what you've seen
Yes, when the fall comes
Their colors will be changing
But hey, as for me, I'm evergreen


I′ve got to hold my head up
Hold my head up high and walk the line
Before they stick me in a corner
Way back in the corners of their minds
Yes, they want to find me a number
Naturalize my name and change my face
Lord, they want to stack me up like lumber
Ship me off ′til I know my place

And I said, oh, my Lord
You never know, you never know
Just what they mean
Yes, when the fall comes
Their colors will be changing
But hey, as for me, I'm evergreen
I said hey, as for me, I′m evergreen

Well, I know their good intentions
Ain't no countertrade for silent peruse
′Cause I got all these good intentions
Leaking through the holes up in my roof
I've got all these dreams and visions
Dancing over tunes inside my head
They think one good decision
In a board room will raise me from the dead


And I said, oh, my Lord
You never know, you never know
Just what you′ve seen
Yes, when the fall comes
Their colors will be changing
But hey, as for me, I'm evergreen
I said hey, as for me, I'm evergreen

Well, Lordy, Lordy, Lord, I′m evergreen
Well, you′ve got to know by now I'm evergreen, yeah, yeah
