[00:12.91]You can tell a few things about the soul of a town
[00:15.00]
[00:16.34]From the blood of the men gone in the ground
[00:19.65]Bankrupt and buried by war that is carried out
[00:23.40]By messengers now
[00:24.46]
[00:32.33]Was born here and married too young staring
[00:34.99]The nose of the barrel down
[00:37.29]
[00:38.79]Went milk to whiskey to the courthouse sitting
[00:41.72]With her stoned in her wedding gown
[00:43.53]
[00:51.34]My birthday's in two months and I'll be twenty one
[00:54.41]I am the second oldest to an only son
[00:57.91]Third generation to carry a gun
[01:01.29]I've got brown eyes like my mother does
[01:03.97]
[01:10.41]First I saw blood was in a soldier's hair
[01:13.53]Drying to his forehead in the dessert air
[01:16.72]I knew his name once but his face I don't dare
[01:20.35]Recall in the moments I go back there
[01:23.28]
[01:30.04]Off the record do you see my tears
[01:33.10]On my face and in my ears
[01:36.35]As the silos reappear
[01:39.16]And all of our journeys have led us right back here
[01:42.47]
[01:54.91]There's something in the water we've been passing around
[01:58.03]We've eaten the berries there is no doubt
[02:01.10]Like our father before us in his paper crown
[02:04.84]Kings of nowhere that was ever found
[02:07.22]
[02:14.16]The angels that used to be guarding our beds
[02:17.10]Have all wandered off and left us instead
[02:20.47]Too strung out and much too sick to defend
[02:23.53]Laying in the bathwater all lit up again
[02:26.36]
[02:33.54]It's not a rumor it's more than true
[02:36.29]There's nothing I wouldn't do
[02:39.92]Be somewhere with only you
[02:42.92]Share a little of these constellation blues
[03:10.92]When it comes to my death let it be slow
[03:14.48]May I be hunted in the hills I know
[03:17.73]Let God be certain I was ready to go
[03:20.79]But keep that secret from my children though
[03:24.35]
