lyrics

Newspaper Blankets
© & (p) 1990 Bunj Jam Music-BMI


Way up in our hills they don't know pills
They don't have highways cars or bars getting' in their way
In summertime the only green they find is in the trees
They don't have dollar bills so they don't know how to pay

And Ella Mae Crite was 80 years this fall
She has half a dozen pictures of Jesus on the wall
They've got brother sleeping on asphalt with newspaper blankets
They've forgotten what warmth is
We've forgotten that they once were kids
We're living for the highest bid and they need to be hid

We think we have the right to store satellites in the desert
While our neighbors sleep without a bite to eat tonight
I want 50 bucks for combat boots, 50 more for a few toots
And maybe some dinner with my desert tonight

And Ella Mae Crite was 80 years this fall
She has half a dozen pictures of her sons on the wall
They've got sisters sleeping on asphalt with newspapers blankets
They've forgotten what warmth is
And we only care or help if they're kids
We say they're old and lazy and they need to be hid
