Lee Bains III & the Glory Fires - Righteous, Ragged Songs lyrics

rate me

I 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.
