Thanksgiving |
| We stood in a long line waiting for the door to be unlocked |
| Out in the cold wind, 'round the razor wire fenced-in cellblock |
| Young mama’s with babies, sisters and other kinds of kin |
| At Tallulah State Prison on Thanksgiving Day, we’re waiting to get in |
| You gotta get here early, it don’t matter how many miles you drove |
| They make you wait for hours, jailers always move slow |
| They run names, check numbers, gravel faced guards they don’t smile |
| Grammy and me in line, silently waiting single file |
| Thanksgiving at the prison, surrounded by families |
| Road weary pilgrims who show up faithfully |
| Sometimes love ain’t easy, sometimes love ain’t free |
| My grammy looks so old now, her hair is soft and white like the snow |
| Her hands tremble when they frisk her from her head to her toes |
| They make her take her winter coat off then they frisk her again |
| When they’re done she wipes their touch off her dress, stands tall and heads in |
| Thanksgiving at the prison, surrounded by families |
| Road weary pilgrims who show up faithfully |
| Even though it ain’t easy, even though it ain’t free |
| Sometimes love ain’t easy, I guess love ain’t free |
