Stearns County Dirt

Waiting for a spot on an angled line
Diving to the outside wasting my time
Took my place high on a rise
Look at them ants push away there prize

But I will be free as a bird in a Wall-Mart parking lot

I'm proud to be just who I am
I salute the flag just like Uncle Sam
I’m a Yankee do good without a dime
Working for nothing and there overtime

But I will be free as a bird in a Wall-Mart parking lot

Payroll deductions 401 K
Matching contributions
That there never going to pay
Helping out the needy
Helping out the poor
We are all working for nothing
At that patriotic store

But I will be free as a bird in a Wall-Mart parking lot

Mega deals sell a whole lot more
Can I check baggage as your walking out the store
There’s more to plastic then debit cards
They make a damn good casket
When the time gets hard

But I will be free as a bird in a Wall-Mart parking lot

Jobs are scarce hard to find
The kind of job that gives you piece of mind
Mom is gone Pops for sure
There headed down the road with a CEO.

I got plans that wont bring me down
I’m going to burn that bake store down
But I will be free as a bird in a Wall-Mart parking lot

Jobs are scarce hard to find
The kind of job that gives you piece of mind
I got plans that wont bring me down
I’m going to burn that bake store down
But I will be free as a bird in a Wall-Mart parking lot

I'd be free as a bird in a Wall-Mart parking lot

I'd be free as a bird in a Wall-Mart parking lot

I was baptized in the fountain of youth
I was scrutinized for telling the truth
There’s a scandal going on around here
A reflection looking back in the mirror
Did I mention I was loose in the tooth

I got to move on
I got mountains to move
I got mountains
Mountains to move

A transformation will get a new look
I'm salivating get me off the hook
I need a Martini without the vermouth
I got to get a move on
I got mountains to move

I got to mountains
I got mountains to move
I got mountains
Mountains to move

I got my business
I keep to myself
I spent a fortune
on my own mental health
I been down
Down in a rut
I been down
I lost my groove
I got to get a move on
I got mountains to move

I got to mountains
I got mountains to move
I got mountains
Mountains to move

Not to long ago I watched you put on your coat
You said I left you cold I’m sorry but I got to go
Now its 14 days I hear you knocking at my door
I felt this way before, I’m not going to take it no more

I been told hurting don’t feel so bad
Just a little lesson I learned from my dear old dad
He's an expert at love, that’s one thing that he understood
He said some things in life are no damn good

I might have bit my lip, I might have held my tongue
I pretended not to notice, you just played along
I think I heard you whisper part of your favorite song
Something about never ever breaking this heart of stone

I been told hurting don’t feel so bad
Just a little lesson I learned from my dear old dad
He's and expert at love That one thing that he knew
He said some things in life are no damn good

She used to pour the sugar
Now I she rubs salt in my wounds
I use to want to see her
I locked that away in my room
You sure had you pegged
You played me for a fool
I would chew off both my legs
just to get away from you

I been told hurting don’t feel so bad
Just a little lesson I learned from my dear old dad
He's and expert at love That one thing that he knew
He said some things in life are no damn good

I been told hurting don’t feel so bad

The sun looks just the same as the day that it had shed
Morning light glowing across the foot of my bed
Long streams blazing from a million miles away
Same old sun shining just another day

My own destruction is a mind that's always off to wonder
Silly thoughts of loving, where we made to love another
Same old sun looking down sowing what we reap
Thoughts of longing interrupting all my blessed sleep

Same old Sun
What has it done
Shining down on me
Same old Sun
It don't belong
Shining down on me

Tracks lead down across a barren rocky beating path
The humble Saud seems to always get the last laugh
Thoughts of racing to the depths of a wild desire
Same old suns been setting all my world on fire

Confess what you do only if it helps
To quiet queen when she's crying out for help
I don't know what that means I refuse to tell the tale
Of the perfect little picture of spending time in hell

Same old Sun
What has it done
Shining down on me
Same old Sun
It don't belong
Shining down on me

The well that I built is dark down in the depth
The light of the day cant brighten up this perfect pictured mess
Hell I ain't done I haven't started yet
Shed the tears and strap in tight I got all night

Same old Sun
What has it done
Shining down on me
Same old Sun
It don't belong
Shining down on me

Shining down
Shining down

Shining down on me

Marlene Marie her love is sweet
like honey from a bee hive
She’s five foot nothing
And brown eyes
No evil she speaks
That I can do
But she sure does love me
That’s all she wants to do

She’s laughing
She’s crying
She’s waiting
Well I’m coming back home

To Marlene Marie
There one thing she keeps
In a heart that so lonesome
You would think
She would walk right out on me

Just one little wish
That would come true
To hold my hand
That’s all she wants to do

She’s laughing
She’s crying
She’s waiting
Well I’m coming back home

To Marlene Marie

Starlings on the high-lines Warned the morning rush
Time is passing through a sane how I lost my touch
Seems to me I lost my way I left a long, long time
Now I'm afraid I have to say I kind of lost my mind

I went down to the point
The trees where bare and starving
I looked for shade to light a joint
And dream of Portland Oregon

Portland Oregon

I heard in the rumor mill
That you had run away
The problems I just couldn't kill
Had ruined another day
The smile that lit her face
Invited me to dance
It was just to brighten up the place
Where losers take a chance

I went down to the point
The trees where bare and starving
I looked for shade to light a joint
And dream of Portland Oregon

Portland Oregon

I'm so lonely for you dear
Nothing came to mind
Whenever you where oh so near
The stars would turn back time
I was warned in a subtle way
The laws of life are grounded
To a path you cannot stray
That God on high had founded

I went down to the point
The trees where bare and starving
I looked for shade to light a joint
And dream of Portland Oregon

Portland Oregon

If I'd known she make the coast
A home to where she's hiding
I would have left her long ago
With all the tears I'm crying
The smile that lit her face
Invited me to dance
It was just to brighten up the place
Where losers take a chance

I went down to the point
The trees where bare and starving
I looked for shade to light a joint
And dream of Portland Oregon

Portland Oregon
