Down Around My Place

歌詞

The radio is busted Down around my place Every tool is rusted Down around my place The 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 crumbled Down around my place My prayers are merely mumbled 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 Said you wouldn't believe What a paradise this was Till every Adam and Eve, Tom, Dick and Harry Started fighting for what he loved Still 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 Family graves keep winking Down around my place At every thought I'm thinking Down around my place While the young ones crowd the table Down around my place They're bitching 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
