ravanna

i was born down by the missouri river
where the copperheads and the catfish play
just up the hill there out in jackson county
they brought me home in a chevrolet

i always wanted to be just like my daddy
he wrapped me up there in the traveler’s joy
i spend a great deal of my life out on the highway
and there’s several devils there that i must employ

i’m a long way from ravanna
where as a child i used to roam
along the line there where the wild blackberry grow
i’m not sad to think about it
those old memories just make me strong
and they shine a mighty light wherever i go

my mama raised me on a switch and some cornbread
a kiss on my face when i lay down to dream
she taught me how to hear the world while it’s turning
it’s been too long since i heard her sing

lord knows i try to keep my spirits in the velvet but it’s tough
i will take what i inherit friend and that should be enough
that should be enough

now i don’t believe that i was born a sinner
but i’ve been working hard to catch up there just the same
lord lord lord good god almighty i am only human
isn’t that a burden and ain’t that a shame?
