The General Specific
[Verse 1]
If the trials at hand are really gettin' you down
We had a close call
I didn't even see it, then another one
And I hardly believed it at all
[Verse 2]
What the writers say, it means shit to me now
Plants and animals, we are on a bender when it's 80 degrees
At the end of December, what's goin' on?
Only for you and me
[Verse 3]
With a showin' of hands, who's goin' back to the South?
Where hungry necks that I know
And runnin' the blender in a lightning storm
Are disguised as a blessing, I'm sure
[Verse 4]
Knowin' ahead there comes a fork in the road
Pants have gotta go
We're on an island on the Fourth of July
It looks like the tide is going home
[Verse 5]
In time I'd find a little way to your heart
Down to the general store
For nothing specific, gonna wash my bones
In the Atlantic shore
Only for you and me
If the trials at hand are really gettin' you down
We had a close call
I didn't even see it, then another one
And I hardly believed it at all
