Lyrics The Avett Brothers

The Avett Brothers

Geraldine

I come from a place

Where every name

And every place

Seem so familiar

In came this progress

In her black dress

Look at the mess

She is a killer

Much like you and I

And every case that's made

There has to be a traitor

It's me this time

And I'm trading fun for right

Will I regret the notion later?

Geraldine's the name that comes to mind

When I go back to reminiscing

Abilene's a woman for my childhood

I spent the evenings kissing

I'm a fool for treating her alive

And loving something cold and rocky

The homophobic gentlemen

They'll barricade but their efforts couldn't stop me

In came this progress

In her black dress

Look at the mess

She is a killer

In came this progress

In her black dress

Look at the mess

She is a killer

In came this progress

In her black dress

Look at the mess

She is a killer

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
