lirik lagu crookhaven - among the overgrown
out east in appalachia, among the overgrown
strode a boy with pure intent to find just where he belonged
he left his mama, papa one bright summer
on his own to find
eyes to see and a tongue to talk at his back
a breeze as he walked the line
who~hoo~woo
who~hoo~woo
packed bag slung swung heavy on his back filled to burst with books
only clothes he took were the sweat stained ones that poorly clung to his aching back
he came quick upon a sl!ck preacher man
he said “hey young man have you heard of god’s plan?
there’s a savior on this planet here’s a book to help plan it as you look for answers”
he said “give you life to christ
the only path to salvation is self sacrifice”
and with this humbling feat death becomes obsolete
there’s a promise of eternal life
life, life, life
kept moving on, he walked along still going alone
down dirt roads and crooked highways, all away from the rising sun
through tennessee on to arkansas
he happened on a women in a wooden lodge
chimney spoke with smoke, she had a smoke and spoke
talking over the howl of the hungry coyotes
who~hoo~woo
who~hoo~woo
long back very many clock ticks ago
it was a lion’s den full of confident men
who saw it fit to show that no beast or foe
could ever conquer them
but with something prove they were doomed to die
too busy trying to catch an admiring eye
while the lions had nothing but themselves in mind
i think you know how it ends
she gave a wink to said goodbye
only on yourself can you rely, don’t hope and open
for this big wide world to push you up to rise
and rise, and rise and rise!
on the blue black night under hissing stars
on the doorway’s edge of a blue boxcar
he sat and thought he ought not be thinking so godd~mn much
just then a scream pierced the night
he peered out into the cold moonlight
saw a frightened woman bound to the rail
as the train let its whistle wail
who~hoo~woo
who~hoo~woo
he knew right away this was life or death
if he tried to save her
he may take his last breath
he heard the voices of his travels singing contradictions
forcing him to fortify his brand new convictions
lest christ convict him
or he be a victim
as the voices grew louder he just knew to evict them
while his mind was clear he was shown forthright
that he had knew was right
right, right, right!
oh~oh~yeah
