lyrics

I’m a bastard son of the South
I lived there as a kid in Mississippi for a time
Ran around all day with a bluetick hound
Shooting BB guns at bottles and wandering aimless through the pines

In another life I never left that little town
Married a Baptist girl with freckles on her face
Driving ‘cross the county line to buy my liquor Friday night
There’s always room for doubt
But that sounds about right

I’m a Goldilocks hoping to find
That perfect bed to sleep in but they all turn out the same
Tried to leave my demons behind
But they cut for sign and caught me no sooner than I came

In another life I stuck around and faced them down
Bought a bungalow and earned a PhD
Writing some boring book about Lindbergh and his transatlantic flight
There’s always room for doubt
But that sounds about right

I’m a mystic cursed with a cynic’s heart
I pray like John Chrysostom but I curse like Charlie Sheen
Living’s not a science, it’s an art
With no umbrella in this shitstorm sure is hard to come out clean

In another life I gave up this electric world
To live alone and sleep inside a mountain cave
Making soup from wild grass and sipping tea by candlelight
There’s always room for doubt
But that sounds about right
