lyrics

He wore his passion in his pockets
And his head like a whispering crown
Someday you swear you’ll be lifted up by the same things
That are keeping you down

This hard land will make you out of a man
And cast you out into the throng
The pleasures are few, though they’re simple but I know
It’s the lows that are heavy and long

The sun and the moon’s daily showdown
Ended with no surprise
Brother, you know not to put your damn money down
When it’s a draw every damn time

Babe, if you’re reading this I smashed every window
In the house and broke all the glass I found
And I burned the shop right on down to the ground
After drinking every last bottle down

Be less a fool if I did, but a liar if I said
That I’d considered the natural laws
When I hedged my bets on a drive into town
Counting on being guided by the wings of a dove

I guess there’ll always be another driver
And there’s no telling what they’re gonna do
And sometimes that curve comes a little too fast
And that rock wall is headed straight for you
