Gentry

i used to go to the field and to the sea
i used to smell the lilac and the tree
i had a voice
and i had eyes
i had eyes

born in a lot in gentry tennessee
thousands were caught
in a lifetime guarantee
we had no eyes
we had no voice
we had no voices
but we used to have a voice
voices

and we used to
have eyes
we saw the light
we saw the light
we saw the night

and we used to
have a voice
we sang in flight 
in flight
in plight
we sang in plight

but we used to have a voice,
a song.
