Lyrics Flyrock Blues - Ben Sollee, Daniel Martin Moore

Flyrock Blues

The flyrock blues got me down
Got me down, got me down
Got me way down
People praying «Don't you land on me
Don’t you bust my house.
Just let me be
On my own ground»
Well, they got the law and most of the land
But they ain’t got us and where we stand
Let 'em hear you
'Cause they’re waiting for you to change your tune
Give up your claim, and do it real soon
Wanna push you out too
Yeah, people prayin' «Don't you land on me»
From the hills of Kentucky clear to Tennessee
And that’s a long way
And in West Virginia the water’s bad
And there just ain’t no peace to be had
And that’s the wrong way
Maybe you’re living far away;
There’s nothing under your ground for them to take
For them to latch on to
But if they ever find the black rock there
You’d better beware, or you’ll know
The flyrock blues too
The flyrock blues got me down
Got me down, got me down
Got me way down
People praying «Don't you land on me
Don’t you bust my house.
Just let me be
On my own ground»
