lyrics

there was a breeze on fire in the dusty south
leeches on my feet
dirt in my mouth
it’s a landscape rich with rot

cities built on desert hills
trees and rain ain’t been for years
it’s a wasteland
raped and wrought

farmers won’t find what they came here for
Rio Grande Valley's now the ocean floor

ma and pa running from the law
just because they can’t pay the bills
they’re sick with shame
as they bury their name
their legacy lay wasted in the hills
man the south really kills

fake howdy do’s and rotgut booze
nothing but oil to heal my wounds
it’s a wild snake with a poison tongue

buzzards flyin’ around my head
look at the stars they spell out dread
it’s a sad song already sung

bless the ones who found an out
there ain't no water
but you can somehow drown here

there ain’t no hope
with an ounce of dope
you’ll find yourself behind bars you will
you’re wrought with shame
as they bury your name
your legacy lay rotten and spilled
man the south really kills

take the records off the shelf
fast music's gonna help
can we dance a little longer please?
all this moving quells my shaking knees

can we just all get along?
