Cold water glasses sweating, Sunday papers turning

Pages on verandas in the southern mind

Ooooh, tell me he's not free

Eight o'clock arriving, quiet 15 after
F Dm
Elementary classrooms all across the south
C Dm
On the television, murdered by a policeman
F Dm
Pledges of allegiance come from baby's mouths

Ooooh, tell me he's not free, is he?
F Em Am A# Am
Ooooh, tell me he's not free

You say the old ways died long time ago

If you say the old ways died, you lied, you know
