H.C. McEntire
Quartz in the Valley
[Verse 1]
Roll on in, honey, thick as fog
Shuffle me up like a catalog
Lay down the law in your fraying chiffon
Dance in the bramble with the morning light
Holler across the hall till you hear it right
Along red dirt lines, setting sun’s on time

[Refrain]
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it in your bones?

[Verse 2]
Smoke like a dragon from the hosiery
Where my daddy's mama worked since she was seventeen
Arrowheads, saltines, quartz in the valley
Picture of a, picture of a wedding gown
Hidden in the attic with a plastic crown
Like a lost-and-found of a small ghost town

[Refrain]
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it in your bones?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?

[Chorus]
When your lashes tagged
All my pillows black
Moonlight grind the hours back
When my teeth pull off
All your shoulder pads
Hair up high in a messy stack

[Bridge]
This gravel road don't need paving
This kid ain't done kicking the blues

[Verse 3]
Follow me down past the boundary
Run your sweet hands through stony creek
Now your cherry cheeks
Are you listening?

[Refrain]
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?

[Chorus]
When your lashes tagged
All my pillows black
Moonlight grind the hours back
When my teeth pull off
All your shoulder pads
Hair up high in a messy stack

When your lashes tagged
All my pillows black
Moonlight grind the hours back
When my teeth pull off
All your shoulder pads
Hair up high in a messy stack

[Refrain]
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
