Bodarks singing a low song
Sunlight's creeping through
Red dirt carving a postcard horizon
Lying 'neath a sky of blue
Sometimes I forget myself
I strain to even know my name
I smile at the devil's sun
let him know that I feel no pain
But cool nights when the stars shine bright
I try not to miss the rain
Oh but ebb and flow
It comes in waves
Barbed wire running my left side
Whole world sits on my right
Air so hot that the daydream clouds all
Dissipate and dry
Sometimes I forget myself
I strain to even know my name
I smile at the devil's sun
To let him know that I feel no pain
But cool nights when the stars shine bright
I try not to miss the rain
Oh but ebb and flow
It comes in waves
I'll smile and fake it any way I can
I'll die where the black birds fly
No last goodbye
No medicine man
Dust cascades over these hills
Whiskey haunts every breath
Rust cocoons, the water tower blues
Gravestones mark every death
Sometimes I forget myself
I strain to even know my name
And I smile at the devil's sun
To let him know that I feel no pain
But cool nights when the stars shine bright
I try not to miss the rain
Oh but ebb and flow
It comes in waves
Oh but ebb and flow
It comes in waves
