Sometimes - Lucero

Sometimes it’s quiet in the middle of the night

Sometimes it’s lonely

Sometimes it’s alright

But tonight the silence is louder than a train

Sounding like my father’s voice calling out my name

Boy, you just don’t realize what you’re risking

Running up and down the tracks to hell and back again

All you’ve got is family

All you’ve got is time

I hear it in the quiet in the middle of the night

And the ghosts down those empty roads

They all know my name

The road from Tennessee

It shakes and rattles to the bone

The hills of Arkansas are filled with haunted lakes and ghosts

Oh, and sometimes I hear them on those lonesome nights

And sometimes they come out of the woods and up to the house

Whispers in a forest carried through the fields

Buried in the same dirt that they worked all those years

All the sons and fathers

All that went before

I hear it when it’s quiet, right outside my door

And the ghosts down those empty roads

They all know my name

The road from Tennessee

It shakes and rattles to the bone

The hills of Arkansas are filled with haunted lakes and ghosts

Oh, and sometimes I hear them on those lonesome nights

Oh, and sometimes I hear them call to me

Boy, you must find your own way

No man goes beyond his days

You and your brothers watch out for each other always

Sometimes it’s quiet in the middle of the night

Sometimes it’s lonely

Sometimes it’s alright

But tonight the silence is louder than a train

Sounding like my father’s voice calling out my name

And the ghosts down those empty roads

Yes, they know my name

The road from Tennessee

It shakes and rattles to the bone

The hills of Arkansas are filled with haunted lakes and ghosts

Oh, and sometimes I hear them on those lonesome nights

And sometimes I hear them call to me

Oh, and sometimes I hear them on those lonesome nights

And sometimes I hear my father’s voice

Say «You and your brothers watch out for each other always»
