Upended Uplifted The boats on the river Are a drifting But where are you tonight My sweet Peggy Sue?
Air smelled of Sweet mint When you're away babe I can't get my mind to think You're the one on the brink But where are you tonight My sweet Peggy Sue?
Good hands Hold no idle molds Whenever you were around I never did what I was told Caterpillar on the fence Crow sliding through the crooked moon Where are you tonight My sweet and only Peggy Sue?
I asked myself the other day Why was it you felt the need to go away? Dusty books sit across my bookshelf I slip on my trusty wolf's pelt The fire is cracking, my money is stacking But where are you tonight My sweet Peggy Sue?
Out in the distance A horse kicks its hind legs Crystal combs her honey dew hair As Henry flips through his magazine I'm the leftist corner store Sipping on a coffee, hurting to the core, Wondering where she is tonight My sweet Peggy Sue?
Corn fed whiskey raised Stars in the sky wink n' cry Every lover knows They've got to share a slice of the pie These gravel roads, these picket signs Are pointing me in a direction I never intended to go But what have I got to show Other than this empty glass and wrinkled bow? Oh' where are you tonight Sweet Peggy Sue?
The forests are on fire The oceans are overflowing too The sky is shifting from light blue To a different kind of hue She sits on the bench Her legs crossed, her hair tossed Oh but where are you tonight My lovely Peggy Sue?
I've got one breath left And I'll use it to find you Mother churns the butter As father stirs the stew You're lost and away With my soul and my pay I ask it one last time: Where are you tonight My one and only cruel Peggy Sue?
