ELTON JOHN lyrics : "Whitewash County"

Tonight it's hot down here
I can almost smell the rain
And I can almost taste the fear

Behind your name
Fans turning on the ceiling
I feel sticky as a chili dog

White boys howling in the evening
On that hollow log


Tall tales down the river
Say we aim to bury the truth
But the right hand just delivered

The devil in a suit

And he talks big in Whitewash County

Talks sweet as sugar cane
Got a past that's filled with lightning
Got a future filled with rain


Bug buzzing in an empty glass
Fiddle scratching some lazy tune

We're just some place that history passed
New dust, new broom
And it's a high hot buttered moon

He's got a shiny new wax face
Swears the South's gonna rise again soon
All over the place


Rain down on Whitewash County
Smell the air coming up the line

Well you've changed your face so often
But you never change your mind
