Mile Train: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

The first verse is about a field trip that David took in Middle Middle School to the Suwannee River with his Granfather. If was a festival that taight kids how people on the suwannee lived in the 1700 and 1800's. The second verse is about a girl that David lived with right out of High Scholl who had a coke prolem.
David wrote the Chorus and 1st Verse and Bryan Hall and Kelley Warner helped write the second verse at Bryan's Appartment in Atlanta. My favorite line was was writen by Bryan and David "She was wild and free like some old Stone's song"

Sugar Cane
By David Pippin, Bryan Hall and Kelley Warner

Chorus:
Sugar Cane Sugar Cane take me home
I don’t know the last time I saw my own
Sugar Cane Sugar Cane take me home
I don’t know the last time I saw my own
Too proud for social change
Too poor for cocaine
Sugar Cane Sugar Cane take me home
I don’t know the last time I saw my own

We were out on the Suwannee I was about twelve years old
They taught us how to can our goods and make home made soap
We walked along the river you know we took our time
Singing all the words to Mr. Fosters Dixie Rhymes
We D.A.R.E.D. to be different, they said say no to drugs
I swear I’d never grow up to be some moonlight thug
Cornbread and Funnel Cake, we ate all day
But I remember most is all that Sugar Cane

Chorus:

Kicked out of the house, I was finally eighteen
Shacked up with some tattooed beauty from a punk rock scene
At first things were great, we’d play out all night long
She was loud and free like some old Stone’s song
She lit both ends and I just watched em’ burn
My fingers were slippin’ and my vision was blurred
There was a mountain of snow in the middle of June
She thought it smelled nice like some expensive perfume

Chorus:
