Wake up Ray Lyrics


It ain't no use, ain't no use
Maybe some guys just ain't meant to
I was living in Montana once and I was married
For a while it rolled so easy
But she got to where she couldn't stand our place
She got to where she cringed at the way I slept and ate
I bought her a bird, a finch she called little Joe
And then one night she blew into a rage
In a snowstorm she ran outside and opened up the cageWake up Ray let's get out of here
This town's done nothing it's clear but try to do usWake up Ray, the sun's coming up and still I can't stop thinking
How can someone you love so much grow against you so?
All I did, all I did was try to toe that line
The same line you see everyone else toe
Now all I remember is running through the snow
Looking for Little Joe as the wind blowed
Wake up Ray, I need a cup of coffee in a bad way
Let's get out of here this town ain't done nothing
It's clear but try to do us in

Richmond Fontaine is a four-piece alt country band based in Portland, OR. The band was formed in 1994 by guitarist / lead vocalist Willy Vlautin and bass player Dave Harding at the Portland Meadows horse race track. Known for Vlautin's incredibly rich and evocative lyrics, several of Richmond Fontaine's songs relate to horse racing specifically and gambling generally. This is largely an artifact of Vlautin's upbringing in Reno, Nevada, a place that is heavily referenced in his lyrics, along with Portland, the U.
