lyrics

Reawaken the past
Drown in all the ways you missed the mark
Idle hands in the midday light
My scars like the miles
On this old guitar
Hard lines are fadin’, fadin’ fast

My heart is singin’ like a penned up whippoorwill
My soul is a shoebox filled with washed out and tattered, yellowed stills
That my memory defies
From the corner of my eye

Know nothin’ of nothin’
Main Street sings the hymnal of disgrace
Feel the boot on the back of my neck
I think lock stock livin’
Might be dead and gone
Hard lines are fadin’, fadin’ still

My heart is singin’ like a penned up whippoorwill
My soul is a shoebox filled with washed out and tattered, yellowed stills
That my memory defies
From the corner of my eye

My mind’s on fire
With the flame they took to the history books
Idle hands in the darkest night
Cloaked in silence
Where the poor boys fell and the cannons shook
Hard lines are fadin’, fadin’ fast

Hollered for mama in the powder cloud
Had his daddy in his eyes right before he fell
Had his living right stripped away
Then they laid him to rest in the cold Virginia clay

My heart is singin’ like a penned up whippoorwill
My soul is a shoebox filled with washed out and tattered, yellowed stills
That my memory defies
From the corner of my eye
