《Thanksgiving(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Thanksgiving (Album Version) - Mary Gauthier

[00:00:01] Written by：Mary Gauthier

[00:00:06] We stood in a long line waiting for the doors to be unlocked

[00:00:20] Out in the cold wind round the razor wire fenced in cellblock

[00:00:34] Young mamas with babies sisters and other kinds of kin

[00:00:48] At Tallulah State Prison on Thanksgiving Day were waiting to get in

[00:01:01] You gotta get here early it don't matter how many miles you drove

[00:01:15] They make you wait for hours jailers always move slow

[00:01:29] They run names check numbers

[00:01:34] Gravel faced guards they don't smile

[00:01:44] Grammy and me in line silently waiting single file

[00:01:57] Thanksgiving at the prison surrounded by families

[00:02:12] Road weary pilgrims who show up faithfully

[00:02:24] Sometimes love ain't easy sometimes love ain't free

[00:02:51] My grammy looks so old now

[00:02:56] Her hair is soft and white like the snow

[00:03:05] And her hands tremble

[00:03:09] When they frisk her from her head to her toes

[00:03:19] They make her take her winter coat off then they frisk her again

[00:03:32] When they're done she wipes their touch off her dress

[00:03:38] Stands tall and heads in

[00:03:46] Thanksgiving at the prison surrounded by families

[00:04:01] Road weary pilgrims who show up faithfully

[00:04:13] Even though it ain't easy even though it ain't free

[00:04:26] Sometimes love ain't easy I guess love ain't free
