	The radio is busted, down around my place
	Every tool is rusted, down around my place
	Creeks and rivers dried up, down around my place
	My woman's tears are cried up, down around my place
	And before there came a flood
	Some lost all, even blood
	Now the sun and wind have come and left no trace
	Down around my place
	Down around my place
	These hunting grounds were hallowed, down around my place
	Exhausted fields lay fallow, down around my place
	Kingdoms come and crumble, down around my place
	My prayers are merely mumbles, down around my place
	And I put my faith in you
	Did you make that error too?
	Bound to fail that he might show his grace
	Down around my place
	Down around my place
	Down around my place
	They said you wouldn't believe
	What a paradise this was
	'Til every Adam and Eve, Tom, Dick and Harry
	Started fighting for what he loved
	So, we fortified the ramparts
	And we built the mighty towers
	But it was plain to see, we never were free
	From the tyranny of the hour
	The family graves keep winkin', down around my place
	At every thought I'm thinkin', down around my place
	While the young ones crowd the table, down around my place
	Bitchin' about no cable, down around my place
	And my grandpa says, “Don't worry
	It's always the last one in who's in a hurry
	To try and slam the door in the next one's face”
	Down around my place
	Down around my place
	Down around my place
	Down around my place
	Down around my place

	The radio is busted, down around my place
	Every tool is rusted, down around my place
	Creeks and rivers dried up, down around my place
	My woman' s tears are cried up, down around my place
	And before there came a flood
	Some lost all, even blood
	Now the sun and wind have come and left no trace
	Down around my place
	Down around my place
	These hunting grounds were hallowed, down around my place
	Exhausted fields lay fallow, down around my place
	Kingdoms come and crumble, down around my place
	My prayers are merely mumbles, down around my place
	And I put my faith in you
	Did you make that error too?
	Bound to fail that he might show his grace
	Down around my place
	Down around my place
	Down around my place
	They said you wouldn' t believe
	What a paradise this was
	' Til every Adam and Eve, Tom, Dick and Harry
	Started fighting for what he loved
	So, we fortified the ramparts
	And we built the mighty towers
	But it was plain to see, we never were free
	From the tyranny of the hour
	The family graves keep winkin', down around my place
	At every thought I' m thinkin', down around my place

	Down around my place
	Down around my place
	Down around my place
	Down around my place
	Down around my place
