Blackberry Smoke - Ain't the Same lyrics
[Blackberry Smoke - Ain't the Same lyrics]
He saw the lightening flash across
The bright blue sky
Saw the rain creep across the road
Well he stopped and said that's the
Devil beating his wife
Or some old tale the old folks told
It's a five mile walk between here and uptown
On a road lined with sugarcane
They won't notice if he goes anywhere
Here lately it's like they've
Forgotten his name
He just can't forget the way
That the days seem so much brightеr
And the breeze could blow the troublеs away
You could see angels dancin' in the flame
This while place seems so much bigger
Now he sees it all a different way
Nothin's really changed but it ain't the same
He's been back from overseas
About thirty days
He returned standin' proud and true
Yeah the new is worn off of his welcome home
Like the heat burnin' off the dew
Empty bottles that mean the
Bills ain't gettin' paid
Same holes knocked in the walls
Mama don't fight back like
In her younger days
Going over the edge well it's
A hell of a fall
Can't he just go back a page?
Yeah the days seemed so much brighter
And the breeze could blow the troubles away
You could see angels dancin' in the flame
This whole place seems so much bigger
Now he sees it all a different way
Nothin's really changed but it ain't the same
He don't know where he's headed for
But the buses run right on time
Anywhere's better than stayin' here
With the ghosts runnin' through his mind
Things that he's seen and done
Are so much for any mother's son
To live down or try to run away from
Can he run?
Yeah the days seemed so much brighter
And the breeze could blow your troubles away
You could see angels dancin' in the flame
This whole place seems so much bigger
Now he sees it all a different way
Nothin's really changed it just
Ain't the same
The bright blue sky
Saw the rain creep across the road
Well he stopped and said that's the
Devil beating his wife
Or some old tale the old folks told
It's a five mile walk between here and uptown
On a road lined with sugarcane
They won't notice if he goes anywhere
Here lately it's like they've
Forgotten his name
He just can't forget the way
That the days seem so much brightеr
And the breeze could blow the troublеs away
You could see angels dancin' in the flame
This while place seems so much bigger
Now he sees it all a different way
Nothin's really changed but it ain't the same
He's been back from overseas
About thirty days
He returned standin' proud and true
Yeah the new is worn off of his welcome home
Like the heat burnin' off the dew
Empty bottles that mean the

Same holes knocked in the walls
Mama don't fight back like

Going over the edge well it's

And the breeze could blow the troubles away
You could see angels dancin' in the flame
This whole place seems so much bigger

This whole place seems so much bigger
Now he sees it all a different way
Nothin's really changed it just
Ain't the same
