lyrics

MAY THE GOOD LAND

This life, it ain't no garden
Tended by the hired hands
It's a dirty knuckle dug by the roots, friend
It's a fall upon a feral loving land

Got possums blind that bite yr face off
Got snakes wiggle through your toes
Got kids running down to the river over yonder
Bare their innocence in a trail of hand-me down clothes

There's a worldly tree that grows in the forest
Untended by human hands
It rises in the rain in branches shaped like smiles
Brings the wisdom of the pain

Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down

Let the rain be strong and wicked
May the waters see the old trees blessed
May the ground soak equally water and blood
So be it, good land behest
