A Brief Intermission

"in a wagon with no wheels and no place to go " amyone think that this 'wagon' is a plane possibly?

Its about a mom who is leaving her husband and taking her son with her. They're leaving to a new life, but the son is happy where he is.

I think wagon w/ no wheels and no place to go is a trailer that has been converted into a normal home...like with siding and whatnot over the wheels. and thus it has no where to go becuase it can't move.

this is not the version of the song on mander salis. anyway this song is amazing, as is the rest of the album to put so many styles of music on one album is simply incredible. it freshens things up quite a bit. i would have loved to hear an album full of songs such as this, however.

not sure if these are right, but this is what i hear:

A mother went up to the mountain, she said it was for gold,
but all these drums and indians, oh no.
Said Buddy was a good boy,
but just not for me,
come on now pack your bags,
time to leave.
But ma, are you dead,
are you free from this life you've lead,
for such red faced men,
oh ma', oh please don't leave.
Back to the city in high heels,
gold rings upon her hands,
get up son, it's time to run, jump,
and land, in a wagon with no wheels,
no place to go.
She just smiles and nods her head,
a welcome home, but
oh those mines can't you see,
we're just much too deep for your sins,
though you buried them beneath the mountain top.
Where are you going with your coonskin boots?
Oh I just want to be with you.
I know you never said that you would stay,
forever and it's getting late.
Oh I don't wanna be a broken boy,
so sad, alone, and oh so coy.
Oh why you gotta be so goddamn cruel?
Oh I just wanna be with you, but do you?
A mother went back to the mountain,
she said it was for love,
But all those mountain men
are buried with their lust,
and her gold rings.

This song is amazing; the album likewise.
