Sand & Gravel lyrics
Song information
Artist: The Walkabouts
Album: Setting The Woods On Fire
Lyrics
The sky is always heavy here
And the mules they roam in packs
And the skulls we dragged from waterholes
By the woodshed in a stack
And fear don't ever come out alone
And the bad moon flies by night
And the choices made won't come again
'Cause the first choice wasn't right
No time for me to wash
The sand & gravel
Downwinders, we still watch the sky
And each cloud has a name
Thunderhead & casket face
Keep your head on, don't breathe
The hills will slowly cover you
'Til their blessings are disguised
And the choices made will travel home
Leaving all their junk behind
No time for me to wash
The sand & gravel
Got bags of ash and worry stones
Buried by the fence
And some army water from a can
Left over from the tests
The great unwashed is out my door
And it will lose you in a pinch
And now that sorry don't mean spit
I have memorized each inch
No time for me to wash
The sand & gravel here
