Buzzard’s Bluff

Lyrics

Verse 1: If you drive for eighty miles southwest of highway 44 To those Ozark woods where outside folks don't stay There's a cliff called Buzzard's Bluff where we would lie on high ground and watch the birds below circle around their prey And we would pray We would pray Chorus: There ain't nobody's gonna run in here and save me Heaven knows I can't save myself I've got no more tears and I've got nothing left for taking You know the dead don't ever call for help Verse 2: It was eighteen miles to town, another mile to Congress Hill We spent our childhood locked inside a double-wide No neighbor ever knocked and no one looked us in the eye It's no one's business what goes on inside Goes on inside Chorus Bridge: I used to pray to be a bird and fly away Not one time or two, but every single day Everyone may look the other way But I know what happened God knows what happened Chorus
