The song Whitewash County is performed by Elton John in the album named The One in the year 2001 .
Tonight it's hot down here
I can almost smell the rain
And I can almost taste the fear
Behind your name
Fans turning on the ceiling
I feel sticky as a chili dog
White boys howling in the evening
On that hollow log
Tall tales down the river
Say we aim to bury the truth
But the right hand just delivered
Devil in a suit
And he talks big in Whitewash County
Talks sweet as sugar cane
Got a past that's filled with lightning
Got a future filled with rain
Bug buzzing in an empty gla*s
Fiddle scratching some lazy tune
We're just some place that history pa*sed
New dust, new broom
It's a high hot buttered moon
He's got a shiny new wax face
Swears the south's gonna rise again soon
All over the place
Tall tales down the river
Say we aim to bury the truth
The right hand just delivered
Devil in a suit
And he talks big in Whitewash County
Talks sweet as sugar cane
Got a past that is filled with lightning
Got a future filled with rain
And he talks big in Whitewash County
Talks sweet as sugar cane
Got a past that is filled with lightning
Got a future filled with rain
Rain down on Whitewash County
Smell the air coming up the line
Well you've changed your face so often
But you never change your mind
