Harlan County Line
Dave Alvin
from the album Eleven Eleven
tabbed by Mike Underwood
Verse: G F C
Bridge: C Bb G
G
Another morning another motel bed
Another city waiting up ahead
F C G
Light another menthol to clear my mind
Those memories I pretend to forget
'Cause I always wanna live without regrets but
F C G
Yeah I still think of her from time to time
F C G
Is she still livin' across the Harlan county line
Now when we met we were both livin' far from home
Tryin' to get by and tired of being alone
For a moment, I thought she was mine
Cause she had a voice I just wanted to believe
She said her mother was full-blood Cherokee
And her daddy was a union man down in the mines
Fightin the good fight cross the Harlan county line
[Bridge X 4]
People can be noble and people can be cruel
They'll make you president or they'll make you a fool but
She always treated me nice and kind
Until that day she left me on my own
Said there was trouble she had to handle back home
Then she gave me her number and said "call anytime"
If I ever made it cross the Harlan county line
[Bridge X 4]
Now the years disappear out on the highway
And I lost her number somewhere along the way
So I'll say a little prayer that she's doin' fine
Another morning another motel bed
Another city waiting up ahead
And another small memory to leave behind
Somewhere cross the Harlan county line
Cross the Harlan county line
