kind of like spitting – sheriff ochs lyrics
i just finished a book with its cover torn and its pages worn.
the story starts on the day you were born in the city.
where movie houses stood
raised on elvis and hollywood.
the bad guys bad and the good guys good
and the weight of the worlds is always on the sheriff’s
shoulders,
there was life in the little house
above the hospital for the dying,
so i will keep singing,
i will keep finishing for some words in the water all around me
the house of home shook and as the shelter broke you got a
good long look
at a country and cl-ss run by buzzards and crooks
mississippi! mississippi!
through cia and klan
through mccarth’s d-mn blacklist, nixon, and nam
they tear-g-ssed the students but you had a plan
and the weight of the world is on the sheriff’s
shoulders
there was life in the little house,
above the hospital for the dying.
so i will keep singing,
i will keep fishing for some words in this water all around me
there was life in the city that night.
you found your voice and you voiced your sight.
you held your ground to help us see
there’s more to life than lovers and ch-r-s
there’s more to life that an office at the top floor,
somehow, someway, we all find peace,
we all find
