The Story I Heard - Blind Pilot

Hey JoJo

yeah, I know your name

I thought I saw you

jump the Utah train

but I could not say

I could not say

heard you tried to keep your hat on a shelf

marry the women

went off loved someone else

could be as well

I cannot tell

oh no i cannot tell!

hey JoJo

don’t you forget your name

might try to keep you

from the man you have been

so don’t go that way

don’t go that way

oh 'cause the story I heard

is the people are bored

and the measures you take

to wrestle with your lord

all the money you take

all the memories you spill

will he measure your tongue

will he measure your will

oh now

one of these mornings

we’ll be the loudest you hear

you’ll write a story with firecracker paper

and disappear

you disappear

and disappear

and you disappear

oh cause the story I heard

is the people are bored

and the measures you take

to wrestle with your lord

all the measures you fake

whether your dead or just still

will he measure your tongue

will he measure your will

oh now

one of these mornings

we’ll be we’ll be one of these mornings

we’ll be we’ll be home
