Verses the Inevitable - Morgan County Blues Lyrics

Wondering down the block just yesterday
I met a woman who look dismayed
Her words seemed like they weighed a metric ton
Quietly she asked me had I seen her son

Hold my tongue to cause no harm
I knew that boy went south to feed his arm
He was in and out of the embassy yesterday
Those Morgan County Blues gonna take him far away

Have you seen Mr. Reed
Last time I saw him his arm was full
He was sowing his own bad seed
Just a poor poor victim of his own disease

Borrowed from your tomorrows
Only to fall so short on today
Injected tears to fool your sorrow
The ones you left behind are the ones who pay

Those Ghosts that stole your soul
Left your car down there in Carolina
Telling tales finally took there toll
A have you seen him poster is our only reminder

Have you seen Mr. Reed
Last time I saw him his arm was full
He was sowing his own bad seed
Just a poor poor victim of his own disease

Just a poor poor victim of his own disease
Just a poor poor victim of his own disease
Just a poor poor victim of his own disease
Just a poor poor victim of his own disease

Have you seen Mr. Reed
Have you seen Mr. Reed
Have you seen Mr. Reed
Have you seen Mr. Reed
