Casandra Corinna lived on mockingbird Hill By the Tai-state arena next door to the rodeo grill where she worked at night in the neon light at the Tai-state saloon and the cattle trucks would come and go by the light of the Mockingbird moon A dark and weary driver came in for a beer last night there was blood on his knuckles , looked like maybe there might have been a fight Cassandra, she told him ,looks like you need a drink from under his hat he squinted and gave her a little wink i could use a double whiskey but it would not save my soul i could use a hundred dollars but it would not make me whole i could use some understandin' no need for no excuse all that's just second handed only love can cut me loose Cassandra swept the floors and then turned out the light she locked the well worn door like she'd done so many nights a cattle truck was idling , next door to the rodeo grill as the full moon come rising' over Mockingbird Hill She could tell that he was waiting' by the sound of his rumbling' pipes his truck was parked sideways cross a string of yellow stripes his window rolled down slowly,Cassandra stopped for a blink He asked if she was lonesome, she didn't even stop to think i could use a double whiskey but it would not save my soul i could use a hundred dollars but it would not make me whole I could use some understanding' no need for no excuse All that's just second handed Only love can cut me loose the truck pulled back into the night she watched it slowly fade as it curved around the barbed wire fence Her great grandaddy had made With the risen'f the moon come memories of a certain man Who once was here but now is gone Far beyond that fenced-in land Cassandra Corinna lived on Mocking bird hill By the Sri-state arena next door to the rodeo Grill where she worked at night in the neon light of the Trip state saloon And the cattle trucks would come by the light of the Mockingbird moon
