lyrics

The economy's slowing the dust devils blowing
My heart is racing away
At the bottom of this rusty old Ferris wheel
Not much else to see anyway
I love your face without makeup
And the thump of these old guitar strings
And the holes in your dress I must confess
Reveal such wonderful things

The hound dogs lay dying my sister is crying
The morning hangs by a thread
If he opens another gin bottle
I can steal the truck keys from dad
Find us a field and help time stand still
My hourglass lays on her side
And we'll visit the world again
When we're energized

I can't afford you no diamond
That comes from an African mine
But I'll drive you out in the desert
And give you every jewel in the sky
And we'll go on a front porch vacation
When you long for the simpler times
And we'll engage the world again
When we're energized

I can hear the tornadoes howling
And Jesus calling my name
I don't know if I'm to die tonight
But tomorrow everything will have changed
Sometimes the richest deliverance
Comes in the poorest of times
Living off grit and the grid
We'll be energized
