The General Specific

Lyrics

[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
