through the dust bowl
through the debt
grandma was a suffragette
blacklisted for her publication
blacklisted for my generation
go go go

raise your hands
raise your hands high
don't take a seat
don't stand aside
this time
don't assume anything
just go go go

feed the fire
and fan the flame
i know you kids can stand the rain
i know the kids are still upsetters

Kelly Mountain Road saw a heavy load
With a sagging heart and a break apart
Voices in me stood as thick as thieves
With no sympathy for the beggar's art
I have passed these pines bout a million times
Effortlessly
Now I grip the wheel fear is what I feel
At the slow unraveling of me

(Chorus):
You tell me it's temporary it's a matter of time

Think I'll bag this trip for two pack it up for Kakadu
And honey it's not for the weather or the lack of loving you
I got all this in between something I could not foresee
And all the deals I've made don't matter if I can't just let you be

Gone again, it's gone again
There ain't no way that I'm gonna let this heart mend
Gone again

Trouble came around here
Here in the South we fix something to eat
Steam risin' up off the greenery and
We welcome the strangers we meet
Alien sick growing in these walls
Like moss in a crack that time made
I brush a guy in the airport whistling it's a small world after all
And the prices are higher but the kid's still selling lemonade

(Chorus):
Get to the point of it

Sister I'm heading out of Alabama so you better think fast
The wind is gonna pick me up now and the rain won't slack
I'm heading down to Georgia so don't lose track
Of where you've been and where you're going now, who you've seen and what they lack
And why you come undone
Every time you go there
You come undone

I know your heart's in danger
And so is your life

Honey pick the red corner shoes
The ones that hardly ever get used
I knelt in front of my whole collection
I'm picking you a special selection
On a no news is good news middle of mid year day
I feel no ill with time to kill I wanna play

Let's make peace tonight
The moon is bare and shining bright
Let's make peace tonight in a good time

Callin' on my good friends today

Oh, Ozilline, the moon is almost full
And you don't need a torchlight to see into these woods
Sister, bring the medicine to keep you from decline
But it's the waxing and the waning that's always on your mind

Oh, Ozilline, I feel for you
(Pleasure's what they double)
Oh, Ozilline, I feel for you
(If I could call you mine)

As soon as the corn's in, the deer will come to feed

The girl's known trouble the wind's to blame
It blew her to Anytown, USA and that's my middle name
And where we go remains nameless
A motion picture alive and frameless

We are together finally
The dog caught up with the rabbit is laughing hysterically
And we are together you and me
[original]Yeah [my version]And we'll have the dog and the rabbit over for scones and tea

All of my days have been misspent
Stuffing out the sofa and the antenna's bent
Inside my heart's bursting out at the seams
I work for the impossible American dream

I got a job at the grocery store
Few bucks an hour not much more
The world comes in just to take things away
Eat it all up then they sleep until day

(chorus):
I try not to care I might lose my mind

You wear the cloth of finest lands
The touch of women the toil of hands
Undress me now before I bend
From the weight of everyman

When I'm walking through this world I need to hold your hand
Let me take you on this ride I hope you understand
I'm not asking for a compromise

You defend, exhume, begin again
It's the riddle of a skeleton
We're all diseased so count the coupe

Andy, do you love me?
Do you think about it, will you say
Turning brushwood into blazes
Turning summer grass into hay
Turning sharply past the graveyard to the lakefront
With the black waves licking up the stones
To the swayed back screened in front porch
Who could ever stay the weight of flesh and bones

Andy, aren't you tired?
From the sun and rain and river soaking you

On the night they killed Faye Tucker
I was gambling away my last dime
Well I pulled down the lever and I sent up a prayer
That my luck would not be denied
My luck would not be denied

Roll out the head of Faye Tucker
And never you mind what they say
You may be reborn but it's all just for scorn
And that's what you'll take to the grave
That's what you'll take the grave

Sister I'm heading out of Alabama so you better think fast
The wind is gonna pick me up now and the rain won't slack
I'm heading down to Georgia so don't lose track
Of where you've been and where you're going now, who you've seen and what they lack
And why you come undone
Every time you go there
You come undone

I know your heart's in danger
And so is your life

Welcome to why the church has died
In the heart of the exiled, in the kingdom of fate.
Who owns the land and keeps the commands,
And marries itself to the state.

Modern scribes write, "In Jesus Christ, everyone is free."
And the doors open wide to all straight men and women,
But they are not open to me.

Who is teaching kids to be soldiers?
To be marked by a plain white cross?
