Dirt in a Hurry
the low lonesome sound
Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
The days are short and the shadows long The curtains closed and the drapes are drawn Garbage bins rumble like the tumbleweeds And hibernation calls the beasts to sleep When the stars fall out of the midnight sky nobody puts them back And in the ancient light that shutters past Other eyes are looking back The kids and the chickens and the dogs and me Don't know much about polarity Or daylight saving you can't keep We spend out time balancing wake and sleep Right arm strong from guiding hammer and saw Stiff upper lip strong bottom jaw Left arm steady from holding those pennyweight nails Hundred heads in a row doesn't guarantee tails Undertaker in a pastel shirt Concerned about the urgency of dirt Things that move slow seem long to last Something to think about when you're pumping gas Down the road you go, oh lord the rain and snow Winds that steal your breath These songs have been sung before and you know they will again Inverted words of other men Flood water washed our sins downstream They flutter like flags in the dogwood trees And somebody else can wash them clean In rivulets so serpentine I'm going to Graceland! So you sing loud or sing pretty on a Sunday morning Or you stay up late and blow your horn Shallow puddle or the deep blue sea Depends on what you think you see Depends on what you think you see
