God's country

[00:04.08] There's a hole in the wall where you keep your head

[00:08.31] Lost it one too many times

[00:17.92] Say your mama's funeral's next Sunday

[00:24.09] What'd your daddy go and do now?

[00:33.70] No matter just how hard they cry, a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog and they still get hungry

[00:46.52] And they look hungry

[00:51.89] So once you're dead, who'll be there to let them out?

[00:55.39] (And suddenly, he opened the door

[00:55.66] And he yelled at the top of his lungs

[00:56.19] "Lord Jesus")

[01:07.88] You don't need me like you think you do

[01:13.25] And I can't pull you through

[01:23.39] You just need to feel like someone wants you

[01:28.83] And I promise you they do

[01:36.85] You are young, you are young

[01:42.75] You're too young, and you cry 'til you're soaking wet

[01:53.15] You're not your father, but you wear his clothes to bed

[02:06.46] Goin' over something he said

[02:13.93] All-American

[02:16.64] No good, worn through, and on fire (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

[02:31.49] And they'll chew holes in whatever's left

[02:37.11] 'Til there's nothing left

[02:43.81] You've tasted love and it tasted sweet

[02:48.11] You drank the blood and bit the meat

[02:52.16] If you hold it and it cries

[02:55.68] You should let it go

[02:59.72] I'm trying hard, so baby, please

[03:03.75] Don't sink in me with your dog teeth

[03:07.51] Please, I'm already on my knees

[03:13.39] In God's country

[03:23.54] Ah, ah, ah

[03:32.09] You smell like gasoline

[03:36.12] Trailing the death of me when you come home

[03:41.47] Then you're gone

[03:47.36] Stained like the memories

[03:53.77] Stuffed under the car seat

[03:57.03] Behind me (Behind me, behind me)

[04:03.11] I'm not coming back

[04:08.75] I'm not coming back again (Oh, oh)

[04:18.65] You ruined all of that

[04:22.41] I always told you that

[04:25.38] Your white horse can't hold your hand

[04:29.67] So it passed you running again and again

[04:34.78] Drive the pathway through the pines

[04:38.83] And the moors of mystery

[04:42.60] Welcome conflict and let crisis come and shake the ground beneath

[04:50.64] And the family secret hiding

[04:54.62] In the farmhouse down the street

[04:58.66] Rushes open door on your front porch

[05:03.17] And shadows me

[05:07.47] Taken and entirely, I embraced the bonny beast

[05:15.76] Over hills and highlands, we rode hard the passing peaks

[05:23.80] Danger liked the virgin wife, beside me she would sleep

[05:31.87] Cherry was her dad's truck that she crashed at seventeen

[05:39.38] I kneel before what temper broke the branches on the beach

[05:47.13] And those thrilling highs and southern nights are always out of reach

[05:54.36] I learned a lesson

[06:00.80] I need to pray and hard

[06:02.19] Final hours

[06:03.49] Take care of me God

[06:11.82] You've tasted love and it tasted sweet

[06:15.59] You drank the blood and bit the meat

[06:20.68] If you hold it and it cries, you should let it go

[06:27.92] I'm trying hard so baby please

[06:31.95] Don't sink in me with your dog teeth

[06:35.19] Please, I'm already on my knees

[06:40.83] In God's country

[06:44.04] Ah, ah, ah, ah

[06:50.16] Ah, ah, ah

[06:54.15] Aah, ah, ah

[06:59.52] Ah, ah, ah

[07:15.76] Don't sink in me with your dog teeth

[07:22.47] Don't sink in me with your dog teeth, ah

[07:32.10] Taken and entirely I embraced the bonny beast (Don't sink in me)

[07:39.60] Over hills and highlands we rode hard the passing peaks (Don't sink in me)

[07:47.62] Danger like the virgin wife beside me she would sleep (Don't sink in me)

[07:55.91] Cherry was her dad's truck that she crashed at seventeen (Don't sink in me)

[08:03.68] I kneel before what temper broke the branches on the beach (Don't sink in me)

[08:11.98] And those thrilling highs and southern nights are always

[08:17.06] Always

[08:20.04] You've tasted love and it tasted sweet

[08:23.80] You drank the blood and bit the meat

[08:27.84] If you hold it and it cries, you should let it go

[08:36.14] I'm trying hard so baby, please

[08:40.16] Don't sink in me with your dog teeth

[08:43.40] God, I'm already on my knees

[08:49.52] In God's country

[08:57.75] Ah, ah

[09:05.51] In God's country
