She said, "There's not much hope for a red dirt girl Somewhere out there is a great big world That's where I'm bound And the stars might fall on Alabama But one of these days I'm going to swing My hammer down Away from this red dirt town I'm going to make a joyful sound"

#emmylou harris #red dirt girl #2000 #music #i love the gentle harmony on 'joyful sound' and the way she affects a heavier-than-usual drawl on this song #i can't believe this is the second or third song in her set list these days #this song and paula's happy home and bethlehem are all connected #i'm going to write an entire essay about this when i have time
