Have you ever had to breathe under water, that done rose up over your head? Ever had to wade through the fire, just to keep your own soul fed? Well I lay me down in the garden. Gonna bury me nice and deep, drifting high on the breath of the Mother and giving her my soul to keep.
Oh long gone 'jimmy-crack-corn', the lust in your fury keep you too head strong. And on, on 'jimmy-crack-corn' the hate in your mind gonna kill your song. Cuz you can only stay broken, but for so long.
Then the soul travelers are coming and this life will be moving on.
Have you ever tried to rise in the wake of a shadow, just before it drags you down? Ever had to scream in your own voice so you could recall the sound?
I'll lift you up and find you shelter, just before you go back in the rain. Gonna strip you down to your 'bare assed' spirit and show you how to love away the pain.
Oh long gone 'jimmy-crack-corn', the lust in your fury keep you too head strong. And on, on 'jimmy-crack-corn' the hate in your mind gonna kill your song. Cuz you can only stay broken, but for so long.
Then the soul travelers are coming and this life will be moving on.
Have you ever tried to see through your anger to your place among the stars? Ever had to swallow someone's hatred, while you let go of yours?
Those tears of shame that you cry in the kitchen, and you thought that no one saw. You're treading thin air on that hard conversation, with one thin dying claw.
Ohhhhh..
Oh long gone 'jimmy-crack-corn', the lust in your fury keep you too head strong. And on, on 'jimmy-crack-corn' the hate in your mind gonna kill your song. Cuz you can only stay broken, but for so long.
Then the soul travelers are coming and this life will be moving on.
