Brightleaf + Burley |
| Our name’s been on that mailbox |
| The last 100 years |
| We’re the walking definition |
| Of blood, sweat and tears |
| You ask them who we are |
| They’ll tell you mean and surly |
| We’re the keepers of tradition |
| That Brightleaf and Burley |
| We get low down |
| We get high as a kite |
| Lord I wish I may |
| Lord I wish I might |
| Be singing this song |
| When I hit the pearly gates |
| Greetings from Tobacco Town, USA |
| Greetings from Tobacco Town, USA |
| I’ve been wandering these roads |
| Since I was 3 years old |
| Watching the men I thought were gods |
| Turning green leafs into gold |
| Now the fields they all lay empty |
| Curing barns are growing cold |
| All the while another cash crop |
| Just begging to be sold |
| Yeah, we got the infrastructure |
| Lord know’s we got the will |
| But a solution to a problem |
| Doesn’t pay that problem’s bills |
| So they’ll keep calling it illegal |
| Keep pumping us with pills |
| Tell Roosevelt what the Bible Belt |
| Went and did to his New Deal |
| We could pay for oil |
| Coal and steel |
| If the factory work ain’t left yet |
| Bet a dollar that it will |
| We redefined resilience |
| We’ll make it somehow |
| But if God was going to save us, he’d have done it by now |
| If your god was going to save us, he’d have done it by now |
