Ritter, Josh - Harrisburg Lyrics
Romero got married on the fifth of July
In our Lady of Immaculate Dawn
Could have got married in the revival man's tent
But there ain't no reviving what's gone
Slipped like a shadow from the family he made
Dropped the kids at the mission, with a rose for the virgin
She knew he was gone for good
It's a long way to Heaven, it's closer to Harrisburg
And that's still a long way from the place where we are
And if evil exists, it's a pair of train tracks
And the devil is a railroad car
Could have stayed somewhere but the train tracks kept going
And it seems like they always left soon
Sang sad miseries to the moon
It's a long way to Heaven, it's closer to Harrisburg
And that's still a long way from the place where we are
And if evil exists, it's a pair of train tracks
And the devil is a railroad car
Rose at the altar withered and wilted
Romero sank into a dream
He didn't make Heaven, he didn't make Harrisburg
He died in a hole in between
Some say that man is the root of all evil
Others say God's a drunkard for pain
Me I believe that the Garden of Eden
Was burned to make way for a train

Ritter, Josh Harrisburg Comments
"Others say god's a drunkard, FUCK PAIN"
Effin awesome. I always liked him but listening to him more lately and wondering why I didn't listen sooner.
great Song from Singer/Songwriter. Amazing Performance. Greets from Germany
Never before has a song performance so thoroughly destroyed the original version of not one, but two songs for me in the most delightful way possible. But this performance of Harrisburg ruined the original recording of both Harrisburg and Wicked Games for me. AMAZING ⭐⭐⭐
So a great Singer Songwriter-WOW
This song reminds me of both my shitty father and step father who both left my family.
Support independent music! This is my Kickstarter for my debut album! Could use the support.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/228549494/garrett-randolph-starting-fires-in-the-dark?ref=profile_backed
what a great song
The reverend Obadiah, Jebediah, HICKMAN
Is great :)
Love this song. Good Sh!t.
damn must have been so great to be there
This is fucking killer!
...They are fucking killer!
I saw them live for the second time on wednesday (30th, Oct). Josh and 2 members of his band. Before he played with the whole Royal City Band.
Sounded incredible! If they only do European tours every 3 years its definetly worth the wait.
I Live in harriburg Pa USA .....thank you for this song And the harrisburgs across the world
2:40 Trolololo?
The best version - of Josh's great song.
Why is this brilliant guy not more well known? His albums are amazing, and live he puts most artists to shame.
Mr. Ritter, you rock. Please come to Holland in the near future :-)
5:48 that is all.
Can I get an, "Amen"?
This is my all time favorite version of this song.
My too ))
Thank you Pandora
Hickman's interlude is fantastic!
Hickman is the dude.
@FourMilePost That's a fair statement. :)
Every Josh Ritter song is my favorite Josh Ritter song to hear live.
Always one of my favorite Josh songs to hear live!
