BLACKBIRDS AND THE CROWS Nashville Bluegrass Band Eva was a fast thang, most everybody knew While other girls were running wild, Eva flew Her life was the fast lane, but it soon began show So I begged her with me to go, to a little home here in Idaho, With the Blackbirds and the Crows One year we were happy, tried to keep our lives on track While I was looking to the future, Eva was lookin back She said she missed her old life, she was truthful I suppose But the truth was she could never leave, Truth was all the nights I'd grieve If I ever had to let her go. Blackbird sat on a fence line Crow flew through the sky I whispered low into Eva's ear Eva you're gonna die... She's a half a mile out and a quarter across Beneath those wheat field rows And no on knows who put her there But the blackbirds and the crows Folks come by and we sit around And I tell them how she's gone I tell them how she packed her bags And wrecked our happy home Oh I tell them she down in Atlanta, Doin' cocaine and God only knows But Eva's not gone she's here with me Right here where she'll always be With the blackbirds and the crows Repeat chorus
