lyrics

Come join me out on the porch
Read me a psalm or two
I got the chords, if you got words, baby we can sing
I know the stakes
I’ve read what that paper brings
But still if we don’t move I swear I’m gonna go insane

I’m going back through those tall woods
Past that old house
I’m gonna lay it all back down
And wade in deep
You know I’m looking to drown

You can bring on that new heart
Those new hands
That mind free from debt
Let that river roll
Let that river roll
Way on to the end

These hinges coming off
Paint chipping from the walls
I called a friend of mine, he’s gonna give it an overhaul
This ain’t no place for pride
No ancient dead beat road
I saw it once or twice, I’m gonna leave all the maps at home

Come down to threshing floor
We are beggars, yes it’s true
Nothing shielded, Nothing stored
Till its passing through
