The Orange Grove |
God, take me back to the orange grove |
That I found deep in the desert |
The air sweet as a miracle |
It can’t survive but it grows and grows and grows |
West Texas is dying slow |
An oil rig in the sunset |
The air is heavy and filled with smoke |
There ain’t no quit in the hands that built this home |
A dog barks in the distance |
Rusted frames take root in the brush |
You’ll watch it decay |
Lie through your teeth and say you’ll resurrect a ghost |
The paper tigers you made then swore to keep away |
You’re a knife there at my throat |
God, take me back to the orange grove |
Fall came quiet and sudden |
They’re smoking out of their storm doors |
Work left town with the summer |
We’re just trying to keep warm |
That cough don’t sound any better |
Another month, try to push through |
Blood in your spit in the morning |
Give a fake name at the emergency room |
There at the edge of losing everything |
Taking desperate swings in the dark |
You’ll watch it decay |
Lie through your teeth and say you’ll resurrect a ghost |
The paper tigers you made then swore to keep away |
You’re a knife there at my throat |
When your mom got sick so slow |
Did you carry the weight alone? |
When the bills started to grow |
Did you carry the weight alone? |
When the bank came for your home |
Did you carry the weight alone? |
When you reap what they sow |
Do you carry the weight alone? |
You’ll watch it decay |
Lie through your teeth and say you’ll resurrect a ghost |
The paper tigers you made then swore to keep away |
You’re a knife there at my throat |
God, take me back to the orange grove |
