lirik lagu possum pirate - one last old time tune

my great~grandad played the fiddle
it’s buried with him now
i heard him once play red wing
before the lightning struck his house
we’d play at that rv park
couple miles from my home
they let me play harmonica
now i play to his bones

this mountain lost its charm
before i ever walked the earth
when they chased off all the hippies
turned to life support and dirt
old time tunes and anthems
echo off the valley hills
while they struggle with еconomy
the price of gas, and pills

but they sing about thе hard times
like the appalachians did
they talk of dying craft
because they can’t talk to their kids
there’s things you just don’t talk about ~
you come here for the view
and for all the old~time circles
playing one last old~time tune
this town came together
they put music in the schools
they couldn’t save their history
so they wrote it in the rules
the art’s a thing of beauty
when you hear it in the air
but i never see the young folks
play with old ones on the square

and i went up to play once
they said, “keep this thing alive ~
or no one else will sing here
after all of us have died
they played with love and passion of
the things that god creates
then they said they carry guns
in case the find someone god hates

and they sing about the savior
they sing about moonshine
dry county baptist farmers
tap their feet to keep the time
of a world they think they left behind
too long ago, too soon
but it’s just the old~time men
singing one last old~time tune
how do you love somebody
if you can’t love them whole?
if your heavens don’t align
and if it hurts inside your soul?
stand up from the bench
and leave the dusty room
to the sound of old~time men
playing one last old~time tune
