He grew up in the finest part of town,
The county bore his family name
from early on he had the blues
Makin’ noise in Sunday school
The preacher took his hand
But he didn’t understand
The late great Townes Van Zandt
He left home when he turned 17
But soon the days grew dark in Denver
And mama said: “I know there’s time,
the problem lies within his mind”
the doctor took his hand
But he didn’t understand
The late great Townes Van Zandt
No one ever knew him,
not sure he knew himself
But he knew every dark eyed girl
In the unforgiving south
And the music that came through him
Boy It came from somewhere else
He knew the world’s pain
But his pain couldn’t be helped
He died alone in Tennessee
The bottle finally showed him mercy
But you can hear him sing sometimes
When the wind blows that lonesome whine
And the trees start to bend
The sparrow hears a friend
Guess they understand
The late great Townes Van Zandt
