Ramblin' Fever

If you get a chance, you put your dancing shoes on.

The country's calling, and thats where I'm going.

Well I found God in a soft woman’s hair
A long days work and a good sittin’ chair
The ups and downs of the treble clef lines
And five miles ago on an interstate sign
My God, my God and I don’t need a middle man
My God, my God and I don’t need a middle man

Now I don’t doubt that The Good Book is true
What’s right for me may not be right for you
To church on Sunday I’ll stand beside
All the hurtin’ people with the fear in their eyes
And I thank the Lord for the country land
Just like Paul I thank him for my hands
And I don’t know if my soul is safe
Sometimes I use curse words when I pray

--The Avett Brothers “Me and God”

The Lowering- The Avett Brothers

If I had known, your heart was down
That lonely day in Greenville town
Then I would have been more concerned
But later on I truly learned
How it can feel in every bone
To really see you’re all alone

But I’ll kiss your head
When death finds your bed
And you are gone

And if I had seen, the way it would be
I’d hushed your cries, when you came to me
If I could do what I did to you
The same to me that I would love for you to see
That I sleep with remorse
And regret hangs round my door…
For ever more.

If I had known the lowering tide
Was lowering with the way you felt inside
If I had known all hope was gone
A broken heart and a broken home
That pierced, my lover’s past
And carved a lonely path…
For her to walk

So if ever someone one says to you,
Life isn’t fair, get used to it
Then you should say ‘Well it might be
If folks like you would let it be”

But I’ll kiss your head
When death becomes my bed
And I am gone
