about

A rampaging country burner about self redemption and forgiveness.
Also features a cartoonishly playful ukulele solo section.

lyrics

I said more than a mouthful and I got some more to tell
I’m on the road to heaven and I ain't going back through hell
Some people tell me that I got some dues to pay
Well I’m barefoot on the pavement and I’m singin’ everyday

I was cutting in 9 lines with 9 women on my mind
When you don’t know who you are she’s awfully hard to find
Each occupied a room in my mental motel
Thinking 8 Evictions just might benefit my health

People posing like they have their house in order
But the truth don’t need no one to believe
You can draw your definitions in the dirt
but it don’t observe your borders
It’s all one thing
Just stop you brain from talking and feel the way you feel!

I toppled over towers and tore apart the sea
All that I could think of was me and victory
I made my people cower and massacred the crowd
But I’m letting it go so the story ends in one big happy NOW!

Dropping history just too heavy to carry
Mental repetitions making everything too scary
Separation’s a lie, we’re all going to die
but never you mind ‘cause we’ll just come right back to life

Walking around with questions inappropriate to ask
Like seeing realistically you’re banished from the pack
Don’t need no cures for symptoms of common disease
Just get down to the bottom of how it came to be!

Everything is Made of Love ASCAP
