Long Line Rider |
| Wettin' it down, boss |
| Wet it down |
| Wipin' it off, boss |
| Wipe it off |
| Doin' ten to twenty hard |
| Swingin' twelve pounds in the yard |
| Every day |
| Every day |
| I came in with a group of twenty |
| There ain’t left but half as many |
| In the clay |
| In the clay |
| Long line rider, turn away |
| There’s a farm in Arkansas |
| Got some secrets in its floor |
| In decay |
| In decay |
| You can tell where they’re at |
| Nothin' grows, the ground is flat |
| Where they lay |
| Where they lay |
| Long line rider, turn away |
| All the records show so clear |
| Not a single man was here |
| Anyway |
| Anyway |
| That’s the tale the warden tells |
| As he counts his empty shells |
| By the day |
| By the day |
| Hey, long line rider, turn away |
| Someone screams investigate |
| Excuse me, sir, it’s a little late |
| Let us pray |
| Let us pray |
| This kinda thing can’t happen here |
| 'specially not in an election year |
| Outta my way |
| Outta my way |
| Hey, long line rider, turn away |
| There’s a funny taste in the air |
| Big bulldozers everywhere |
| Diggin' clay |
| Turnin' clay |
| And the ground coughs up some roots |
| Wearin' denim shirts and boots |
| Haul 'em away |
| Haul 'em away |
| Hey, long line rider, turn away |
| Well I heard a brother moan |
| Why they plowin' up my home |
| In this way |
| In this way |
| I said, buddy, shake your gloom |
| They’re just here to make more room |
| In the clay |
