[00:00.00]Harrisburg - Josh Ritter
[00:11.79]Romero got married on the fifth of July
[00:16.91]In our Lady of Immaculate Dawn
[00:22.43]Could have got married in the revival man's tent
[00:27.04]But there ain't no reviving what's gone
[00:31.98]Slipped like a shadow from the family he made
[00:36.86]In a little white house by the woods
[00:41.61]Dropped the kids at the mission
[00:44.04]With a rose for the virgin
[00:46.48]She knew he was gone for good
[00:51.42]It's a long way to Heaven
[00:53.92]It's closer to Harrisburg
[00:56.79]And that's still a long way from the place where we are
[01:00.98]And if evil exists its a pair of train tracks
[01:06.11]And the devil is a railroad car
[01:31.17]Could have stayed somewhere
[01:33.29]But the train tracks kept going
[01:35.55]And it seems like they always left soon
[01:40.54]And the wolves that he ran with
[01:43.05]They moaned low and painful
[01:45.15]Sang sad misereres to the moon
[01:50.32]It's a long way to Heaven
[01:52.77]It's closer to Harrisburg
[01:55.76]And that's still a long way from the place where we are
[01:59.70]And if evil exists its a pair of train tracks
[02:04.58]And the devil is a railroad car
[02:31.58]Rose at the altar withered and wilted
[02:36.26]Romero sank into a dream
[02:41.08]He didn't make Heaven he didn't make Harrisburg
[02:45.95]He died in a hole in between
[02:50.82]Some say that man is the root of all evil
[02:55.59]Others say God's a drunkard for pain
[03:00.46]Me I believe that the Garden of Eden
[03:04.64]Was burned to make way for a train
[03:09.46]It's a long way to Heaven
[03:11.83]It's closer to Harrisburg
[03:14.64]And that's still a long way from the place where we are
[03:18.52]And if evil exists its a pair of train tracks
[03:23.58]And the devil is a railroad car
