Rebecca Deville Lyrics - Simple Life - Mason Jennings

Last night the willows stopped weeping 

And everything sat hushed and still 

And while my body lay sleeping 

I dreamt of rebecca deville 

Now I wonder if she was a real girl 

Did she die when I woke 

Well i'll sleep straight through to tomorrow 

And look for her till I go broke 

I found myself by the highway 

That i ride in all my dreams 

I met her while i was hitchhiking 

From england to new orleans 

She rode shotgun but stayed facing me 

And I laid down in the back 

I fell in love somewhere near illinois 

And she said she loved me right back 

Anybody 

Has anybody seen my little girl around 

I last saw her in new orleans 

I can't find her now 

I stepped into the nearest twilight bar 

To ask if anyone knew 

The whereabouts of my rebecca deville 

The bartender said that he knew 

He said that just a few weeks ago 

She hitched a ride out west 

With a man who said he'd show her the big time 

Said he would show her the best 

But he stopped the car two miles down the road 

And he put a gun to her head 

And raped her of all that she ever had 

When rebecca was found she was dead 

Anybody 

Has anybody seen my little girl around 

I last saw her in new orleans 

I can't find her now 

Anybody 

Has anybody seen my little girl around 

I last saw her in new orleans 

I can't find her now 

Anybody 

Has anybody seen my little girl around 

I last saw her in new orleans 

I can't find her now 

Low doesn't even begin 

To describe the shape that i am in 

But you can dream in both directions 

And bring the past back again 

So maybe i can find her 

Before heaven goes and hides her 

Hope and keep her from going 

Away 

Well i saw her again 

It was a sunday evening 

She had flagged a ride 

It was a lincoln continental 

She was on the passenger side 

She had ahold of the handle 

I said rebecca don't go 

He's not what he seems 

I said rebecca don't go 

He's not what he seems 

Take my word darling 

And drop out of this dream 

She said 

He's going to 

The big city 

And i'm going too 

You know how that is with me 

I said stop 

Don't you get in the car 

Don't you get in the car 

'cause i won't be coming back 

If you get in the back 

Don't you get in the car 

Don't you get in the car 

'cause i won't be coming back 

If you get in the back 

My sweetheart 

My sweetheart 

I will just stay awake 

Six years or maybe eight 

Till I lose your memory 

And all that you've meant to me 

'cause i can't stand to see this 

I can't stand to see this 

I can't stand to see this 

Well she got inside 

And waved goodbye 

And i watched the tail lights 

They danced like candle light 

And then they went out 

Goodbye 

My sweetheart 

Goodbye 

My sweetheart 

Anybody 

Has anybody seen my little girl around 

I last saw her in new orleans 

I can't find her now
