“Beneath that Blue Ridge Sky” By: Ray Maternick, 28 Apr 2016
[Verse 1]
AmAnother springtime journey to that Fcourthouse in Louisa
GHoping that his freedom would be Din the cards this Amyear
Am900 days behind the walls of an Fasylum in the Blue Ridge?
GTo overcome the shadows, the Danxiety, and the Amfears.
[Verse 2]
AmThree men in orange jumpsuits Fsitting in the gallery
GStaring at the faces of their Dloved one in the Amcrowd
AmOur lawyer said our son was on his Fway and not to worry
GHe’s first up on the docket, Ddon’t let this get you Amdown
[Chorus]
GRobins sing their Dmorning song Foutside that courtroom Cin Louisa
GHe shuffled in with Dshackled feet and Fheld his head up Chigh
GKnowing they might Dsay he needs more Ftime to get Cbetter
GAnother year Dbehind the walls Fbeneath that Blue Ridge Amsky.
[Verse 3]
AmHe finally came through the door, a Fsheriff on each side
GHands were cuffed together, the sound of Dshackles shuffled Amby
AmHe sat down on that courtroom chair Fhoping he wouldn’t hear
GThe Judge say that he’d be free to walk Dbeneath that sun filled Amsky
[Verse 4]
AmAll rise for Judge Saner the FSargent at Arms said
GMinutes seemed like hours we waited Danxiously to Amhear
AmHe finally looked up and said “I Fsee you made some progress
GYour commitment is Dextended for Amreview again next year
[Chorus]
GRobins sing their Dmorning song Foutside that courtroom Cin Louisa
GHe shuffled in with Dshackled feet and Fheld his head up Chigh
GKnowing they might Dsay he needs more Ftime to get Cbetter
GAnother year Dbehind the walls Fbeneath that Blue Ridge Amsky.
[Verse 5]
AmAcknowledging the judges call with a Fnod and a “Yes Sir”
GHe walked past us towards the door our eyes foDllowed with a siAmgh
AmBefore he walked out of the door he Fturned to us and said
GDon’t worry bout me behind those walls beDneath this Blue Ridge AmSky
[Verse 6]
AmWe walked across the street for some Fbreakfast at Floozie’s
GWe sat down at the table and Dshed a couple of Amtears
AmThe waitress came up and asked us Fwhat we’ed be havin
GJust brings us both the same thing we Dhad here last Amyear.
[Chorus]
GRobins sing their Dmorning song Foutside that courtroom Cin Louisa
GThey drove him back Dwith shackled feet he still Fheld his head up Chigh
GThey told him that Dhe needs more time Fto get bettCer
GAnother year Dbehind the walls Fbeneath that Blue Ridge Amsky.
