Jutze 52 #19 – Lincoln, TX
This is what happens when I come up with a song in a hurry. I started out with nothing and ended up with this dark story. The title was a rather arbitrary choice. I didn’t even know whether there is a Lincoln in Texas. I just checked: there is one.
Jane is talking to the red old barman
Stalking me out like a roaming son
Here in the desert of Lincoln, TX
Promise me heaven outside the doorI can see there’s a man in the shadows
And I know I have seen him before
He turns around and says, I’ve been waiting to meet you once againI return to Jane and the barman
I say, I’m sorry for the mess I made
I drink my whisky and I head for the front door
Leaving the body and a bribe behind(words and music by Johannes Schult)
