God, take me back to the orange grove That I found deep in the desert The air sweet as a miracle It can't survive but it grows and grows and grows West Texas is dying slow An oil rig in the sunset The air is heavy and filled with smoke There ain't no quit in the hands that built this home A dog barks in the distance Rusted frames take root in the brush You'll watch it decay Lie through your teeth and say you'll resurrect a ghost The paper tigers you made then swore to keep away You're a knife there at my throat God, take me back to the orange grove Fall came quiet and sudden They're smoking out of their storm doors Work left town with the summer We're just trying to keep warm That cough don't sound any better Another month, try to push through Blood in your spit in the morning Give a fake name at the emergency room There at the edge of losing everything Letras de cancionesTaking desperate swings in the dark You'll watch it decay Lie through your teeth and say you'll resurrect a ghost The paper tigers you made then swore to keep away You're a knife there at my throat When your mom got sick so slow Did you carry the weight alone? When the bills started to grow Did you carry the weight alone? When the bank came for your home Did you carry the weight alone? When you reap what they sow Do you carry the weight alone? You'll watch it decay Lie through your teeth and say you'll resurrect a ghost The paper tigers you made then swore to keep away You're a knife there at my throat God, take me back to the orange grove From Letras Mania
