| Old Crow Medicine Show – Take 'Em Away Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
"Land that I know is where two rivers collide The Brazos the Navaho and the big blue sky Flood plains, freight trains, watermelon vines Of any place on God's green earth, this is where I choose to die" So only a mile or so from where these rivers meet is the Luther Unit, a prison maintained by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Prisoners there work on an 11,000 acre farm while they are incarcerated. This song is clearly sung from the perspective of a prisoner working on that unit, which is also why it makes reference to "a boss man at a turnrow with a rifle in his hand" |
