The Land Where Dead Men Die

The Land Where Dead Men Die

 

In northwestern Wisconsin the east wind blows like sin                   

And all the farm girl sluts strut around being born again                              

Billy Graham would be preaching outside the honkey-tonk bars     

I’m just like Jesus Christ darling do you want to see my scars                     

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

 

Well Rita was atheist or maybe agnostic who could tell

She wanted to believe in heaven but shunned talk of hell

Thumb extended she was hitchhiking anywhere south

She proclaims all the same it ain’t wrong if you use your mouth

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

 

Daryll was a killer on the loose driving a tractor trailer

If I make the FBI’s most wanted I won’t be a failure

Rita had a short skirt it made Daryll hurt just to look

Pulling over the trucker chuckled I’ll rob her like a crook

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

 

All the Sanhedrin are chanting Psalm one twenty-one

The babes at the Passover are drunk and they want some fun

We all die young are you enjoying this thing called life

I’m mad at my momma cause she upset my current wife

 

Seems like the story needs resolution or at least a solution

The obvious answer my friends bloodless revolution

Rita was on the pill and Daryll went in for the kill

The humor of the rumor has it they’re out there riding still

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

From Way Back When

From Way Back When

 

I have a hundred books I’ve never read       

And millions of words left unsaid             

I wish I could write a hit song blue and true        

I wish I could just say out loud I love you          

 

And the Jones’s are moving in

The commies are at it again

I believe in God and sin

Oh play that song from way back when

 

I’m way past my prime ain’t life just a crime

It’s easy to ignore my rhyme

Jimmy finally found his shaker of salt

Don’t point any fingers it’s all my damn fault

 

And the Jones’s are moving in

The commies are at it again

I believe in God and sin

Oh play that song from way back when

 

Oh I’m the man standing up for the cause

Pulling the levers controlling Oz

Happy Jack died and put me in ground control

You can have the world I’ll take a righteous soul

 

And the Jones’s are moving in

The commies are at it again

I believe in God and sin

Oh play that song from way back when

 

The sum of the parts makes the creative arts

The man from the band broke a million hearts

Mrs. Jones the devil has got his eyes on you

Keep me a kiss and promise to be forever true

 

If I could have learned to play the guitar

Heaven’s inside baby you’re a star

I’ll whisper these sacred words when we make love

Until then sweet friend you’re who I’m thinking of

 

And the Jones’s are moving in

The commies are at it again

I believe in God and sin

Oh play that song from way back when
