honey, I'm well versed in text book history Davy Crockett bullshit manifest destiny high on top of a mountain all across the seas everything my eyes touch belong to me but don't you march down no trail of tears while the oceans burn and the wild west disappears my conviction is firm and the Lord made my vision clear I was born to be king, king of the wild frontier Jesus Christ and Tonto we ride deep deputized by Jackson we're the winning team the department of labor we're as thick as thieves we're taking all of your paper, honey you're taking all the heat but don't you march down no trail of tears while the oceans burn and the wild west disappears my conviction is firm and the Lord made my vision clear I was born to be king, king of the wild frontier marching round the front lawn musket in my hand I point it at all the neighbors before they touch my land it's a bear, it's a savage! it's a socialist plan! I'm quick to pull the trigger at what I don't understand but don't you march down no trail of tears while the oceans burn and the wild west disappears my conviction is firm and the Lord made my vision clear I was born to be king, king of the wild frontier"

let's go where the road ends let's just get in and drive I need a little vacation from this state of mind you can call it escapism call it what you like just take a break from the traffic of the world passing by 'cause the sun is gonna com back up until the end of time and you can only give something up once you give it a try when it all comes back around, it's you that decides and if you feel like waking up, you're doing just fine you're doing alright color me impatient trying to write these lines putting words to the feelings I still can't define you ain't gonna beat it couldn't f you tried but you can't let it break you or push you aside 'cause the sun is gonna com back up until the end of time and you can only give something up once you give it a try when it all comes back around, it's you that decides and if you feel like waking up, you're doing just fine you're doing alright

Mud 02:56
we're all trying to get ahead jumping hoops, neck and neck out here in the employment lines we all do what we can for some soup, for some bread I'm looking out for me and mine so if you wanna lay the blame on me take aim at what you just don't see if you're ready to let it fly here's mud in your eye now the knife is out the sheath and the bit is between your teeth you're itching to start a fight set the pace run fast break neck, or break back I'm willing to stand aside so if you wanna lay the blame on me take aim at what you just don't see if you're ready to let it fly here's mud in your eye you know that living in worry brings death in a hurry the hole you dig is where you're gonna lie try to walk with the truth, in second hand shoes either way I think that you're gonna find a little mud in your eye so if you wanna lay the blame on me take aim at what you just don't see if you're ready to let it fly here's mud in your eye

well look who awoke to a season of strange a pillar of smoke hanging high above the range cracking a joke, enacting the age while searching for growth out of the past decay as much as you grow, you're still gonna make mistakes as much as you earn, you still got debts to pay what do we learn? Lord I just can't say all that I know... is we're a long, long way from yesterday going for broke on the open plain recalling a time, a time that has passed and changed you dig n the dirt to remember your names while weaving a rope of fire, earth, & rain as much as you grow, you're still gonna make mistakes as much as you earn, you still got debts to pay what do we learn? Lord I just can't say all that I know... is we're a long, long way from yesterday a distant voice is calling... an ancient voice is calling... a loving voice is calling... your mother's voice... she's calling well look who awoke to a season of strange a pillar of smoke hanging high above the range cracking a joke, enacting the age while searching for growth out of the past decay as much as you grow, you're still gonna make mistakes as much as you earn, you still got debts to pay what do we learn? Lord I just can't say all that I know... is we're a long, long way from yesterday
