Evan Alexander Moore - Hey, Mr. Zimmerman! Lyrics

1 2 3 1 2 3
Hey Mr. Zimmerman I hope this sees you well
How's the tour going? You avoiding the bombshells?
I'm walkin' down roads you once called home
But they're worn and renovated and just, out of control

I remember when I first saw the skyscrapers run
Cross the cab window in that tangled blue sun, and I
Saw the world that you tore up and down
That's when I knew I'd head out of my hometown
Hey Mr. Zimmerman, I've been lookin for you
For that smoke dust, the rail rust, that's inspired your truths

Hey Mr. Zimmerman, I wrote you a song
Just like the one you wrote, so long ago

Let's hear it for Joan, Pete, Dave, & Phil Ochs
All those ragged folk singers helpin' the tired and poor
Do ya ever think, woody would've been proud?
That's what I think of when I'm lookin' up at you now

Mr. Zimmerman, it's a twisted fantasy
Wakin' up disrupted, firing squads on TV
Seein' friends tombstones, corruption invests
And the hard rains come back to cause all this unrest
Hey Mr. Zimmerman, it feels like the world might end
Replaced by a new one that's coming round the bend

Hey Mr. Zimmerman, I wrote you a song
Just like the one you wrote, so long ago

Hey Mr. Zimmerman, I know you don't got the answers
And at this moment I'm just singin' to a phantom
But I'm just gonna sing along
Cause that's what you did
Singin' to your ghost that hangs
Over the village

Well I packed up my bags and I headed out of Houston
Out to that city where nobody's sleepin' and I
Hopefully get to see what you saw
Hopefully I'll write as good a song
Hey Mr. Zimmerman, can I play a song for you?
I'm not sleepy, and there ain't no place I'm going to
Hey Mr. Zimmerman, I wrote you a song
Just like the one you wrote
So long ago
