Bruce Hornsby - Country Doctor текст песни

B. r. hornsby

Deep down in the south county

Over where the paper mill runs

Lived a man, a young country doctor

With the perfect wife and sons

Well he worked his days

And sundays hed pray

And nobody knew

Why the wife slowly withered away

I saw the country doctor, to ask him what

Was wrong with me

He was caught unaware, accidental and devil may care

Behind the curtain I see, two shadows in front of me

Oh nobody know the trouble Ive seen

My guess, there was another woman

And with the kids and the money there was a lot to lose

He said she had an rare affliction

And he was doing all he could do

And we all believed him

Felt so sorry and then

I thought once he was a fine man

Now I dont remember when

I saw the country doctor, to ask him what

Was wrong with me

He was caught unaware, accidental and devil may care

Behind the curtain I see, bottles unmarked in front of me

Whoa nobody knows the trouble Ive seen

I saw the country doctor, in a place he didnt see me

Way out in the middle of the night where he thought

No one could see

Over there in the parlor room, making eyes,

Hands roaming free

Someone soon must know, the trouble Ive seen

Did you think about the young ones

One day theyll know it was you

And if they let you off one day

Who then will you turn to

And my wife remembers one thing

She said I remember kind of strangely

At a friends wedding one time

It was a look that he gave me
