lyrics

His thumb caught on the lump the first day of topping
But our cash lived in the Powell 6215
My hips a pair of doorstops but our need so wide
I just fixed some hot milk bread up for the risin’

By the time I went to see the man down at the County
It was the size of a pack of Marlboro Reds
He wrestled out my blood like a loan from a bank
Or the bottom of the ocean off an anchor

CHORUS:
They tell you that you’re bleeding but they can’t say where from
They promise you you’re drowning in sharp air
Plenty of people want to call this suicide
Bu you can’t kill something that ain’t there
No, you can’t kill something that ain’t there

They sent me home in time to put the burley in
What a shame we didn’t catch it early
A shame your Governor drew that fatal line
They woulda covered you if you was from Kentucky

The tick of wrens as morning slams into the barns
The weary dirt that furrows like his brow
The makeshift nest the ditch weed builds for Sundrop cans
The crown of thorns on purple thistle down

CHORUS

There’s wrinkles where the water trickles down the limestone face
Of the banks of Hartspaw Creek in Hartspaw Hollow.
I’ve half a mind once I have died to set up in that place
And beg for all the tears that I could never borrow.
