Tonopah from Silver Sound by The Brother Jonathan

Tonopah Tonopah where my people once lived
I’ve got to get back to Tonopah try myself to forgive

My family and the law got along just like cats and dogs
Since I can remember
Even when Grandpa was a pup
Wild is how we grew up

Tonopah

When we were on the run from Daddy
We learned how to disappear
Gunning it into darkness
And we never stayed (anywhere) for long
Because he would always track us

Tonopah, Tonopah where my people once lived
I’ve got to get back to Tonopah try myself to forgive

When Daddy got a shiv in the gullet
No one was much surprised
Only that it took so long
I always thought it’d be a bullet
Because that‘s the way he lived

Tonopah

I’ve been in scrapes I never needed to be in
And not all of us survived
And I think about that sometimes
I never meant to hurt someone

Tonopah Tonopah where my people once lived
I’ve got to get back to Tonopah try myself to forgive
