Martin's Song Lyrics


He was only six years old
When that old killer died
Put him down in a great big hole
And I fill it up all the time
See the building rise into the sky
Parking meters, traffic cops
You best watch your record, son
They'll come and lock you up
And I've been working all night
I go on into the day
Ain't got much money now
Got the time ahead
You got the time ahead to pay
Smoke and lightning, dressed to kill
And don't talk to strangers

Girl take your pill
Forty years of sudden death
The acid rain is falling on my head
Bush raids on the rise
The doctor's working overtime
Too much of a good thing's not enough
Stepping stones, building blocks
And I've been working all night
I go on into the day
Ain't got much money now
Got the time ahead
You got the time ahead to pay
I've been working all night
I go long into the day
Ain't got much money
Got the time ahead
You got the time ahead to pay
'Cause I've been working all night
I go long into the day
Ain't got much money
Got the time ahead
You got the time ahead to pay

The Jayhawks are an American alt-country and rock band that began in the mid-1980s. On hiatus from 2005 to 2009, the band reunited and, in September 2011, released a new album, "Mockingbird Time". Led by the gifted songwriting, impeccable playing, and honeyed harmonies of vocalists/guitarists Gary Louris and Mark Olson, the Jayhawks' shimmering blend of country, folk, and bar band rock made them one of the most widely acclaimed artists to emerge from the alternative country scene.
