Elton John - Whitewash County lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album the one<br><br>Tonight it's hot down here<br>I can almost smell the rain<br>And I can almost taste the fear<br>Behind your name<br>Fans turning on the ceiling<br>I feel sticky as a chili dog<br>White boys howling in the evening<br>On that hollow log<br><br>Tall tales down the river<br>Say we aim to bury the truth<br>But the right hand just delivered<br>The devil in a suit<br><br>And he talks big in whitewash county<br>Talks sweet as sugar cane<br>Got a past that's filled with lightning<br>Got a future filled with rain<br><br>Bug buzzing in an empty glass<br>Fiddle scratching some lazy tune<br>We're just some place that history passed<br>New dust, new broom<br>And it's a high hot buttered moon<br>He's got a shiny new wax face<br>Swears the south's gonna rise again soon<br>All over the place<br><br>Rain down on whitewash county<br>Smell the air coming up the line<br>Well you've changed your face so often<br>But you never change your mind
