Lonesome River Band Blackbirds & Crows Lyrics

Eva was a fast thing, most everybody knew
While other girls were runnin' wild, Eva flew
Her life was the fast lane but it soon began to show
So I begged her with me to go
To a little home here in Idaho
With the blackbirds and the crows

One year we were happy and tried to keep our lives on track
While I was lookin' to the future, Eva was lookin' back
She said she missed the old life and she was truthful I suppose
But the truth was she could never leave
The truth was at nights I'd grieve if I had to let her go

Blackbirds sat on the fence line
Crows flew through the sky
I whispered low into Eva's ear
Eva your gonna die
She's half a mile out, a quarter across Beneath those wheat field rows
And no one knows who put her there
But the blackbirds and crows

Folks come by, we sit around
And I tell them how she's gone
Tell them how she packed her bags and wrecked our happy home
Oh I tell them she's down in Atlanta, doing cocaine and God only knows
But Eva's not gone, she's here with me
Right here where she'll always be with the blackbirds and crows

Blackbirds sat on the fence line
Crows flew through the sky
I whispered low into Eva's ear
Eva your gonna die
She's half a mile out, a quarter across
Beneath those wheat field rows
And no one knows who put her there
But the blackbirds and crows
