Lee Bains III & the Glory Fires - Righteous, Ragged Songs lyrics
rate meI look back on the road we've worn
The forlorn love(?) and the peace foresworn
I could say at least I played down all my bets.
Packed a fair bit of living in a couple-three years
Terror, laughter and a couple-three tears
Ain't figured out how to pack out a room just yet
But I can pack two weeks in a duffle bag
and pack a mean cigarette.
CHORUS:
If we'd just stop and think
About the one thing that we done right
We'd be writing ragged songs about
A righteous, ragged life.
If we'd stop and think a bit longer
About where we went all wrong
We'd be learning how to live from
A righteous, ragged song.
Alabama by now I should hope you know
I'd die for you, if called to do so
But I'm being courted by California and Tennessee.
Waiting at the gate, wink away a tear
Talking on the phone about Fugazi and Fear
Dave, we're fixing to board, but one last thing please.
Say a prayer for punk rock and a prayer for me!
CHORUS
If we'd just stop and think
About the one thing that we done right
We'd be writing ragged songs about
a righteous, ragged life.
If we'd stop and think a bit longer
about where we went all wrong
we'd be learning how to live from
a righteous, ragged song.
Learning how to live from
A righteous, ragged song.
