about

Featuring Nick Nasbaum on Organ.

lyrics

Didn’t even know your name
But I knew you liked to sing
Heard it on the radio
Country music soothes the soul

Teacher say you go to school
Or you know you’ll always be a fool
Always said is here I been
Always wondering why and when…funny

Mama, I’ll be your only first born son
Born in the spite of Jerusalem
Born beneath that wretched star and moon and blessed son

And as my father prayed against the wall
Where they wailed at those who watch and stand tall
He must never learn to dance with anyone at all
He was too busy answering the call

A Christian with a crutch
Ain’t worth all that much

Brother, you so callous you so cruel
The stature makes you think that you rule the world
As you compete in this earthy duel
You know not quite just what you do
you saintly son you heavenly fool.

Papa, you wasn’t there when I need you
it seems you’re only climbing rope from unraveling spools
And you probably taught me the fear you knew
Papa, mama…
