[Verse 1]
If the trials at hand are really gettin' you down
We had a close call
I didn't even see it, then another one
And I hardly believed it at all

[Verse 2]
What the writers say, it means shit to me now
Plants and animals, we are on a bender when it's 80 degrees
At the end of December, what's goin' on?
Only for you and me

[Verse 3]
With a showin' of hands, who's goin' back to the South?
Where hungry necks that I know
And runnin' the blender in a lightning storm
Are disguised as a blessing, I'm sure

[Verse 4]
Knowin' ahead there comes a fork in the road
Pants have gotta go
We're on an island on the Fourth of July
It looks like the tide is going home

[Verse 5]
In time I'd find a little way to your heart
Down to the general store
For nothing specific, gonna wash my bones
In the Atlantic shore
Only for you and me
