Good Book

(Album: Earthbound Blues - 2011)

They say John was the Revelator
You know I don't know what it means, but I heard the record
It came to me in a dream I was having just the other night
Blood red moon and a fire in the sky

Then they tell 'em what the Good Book said
Raised up with the Good Book read
Made from the mud, bought with the blood
They're drawing lines in the sand while I'm drowning in the flood

Voice in the woods, white dog in the road
Running from the man at the crossroads
Carry that burden I was worried 'bout, we ain't sure
Good Lord, you know I ain't afraid of hell no more

But I can tell you what the Good Book said
Raised up with the Good Book read
Made from the mud, bought with the blood
They're drawing lines in the sand while I'm drowning in the flood

They said John was the Revelator
I know exactly what it means 'cause I heard the record
It felt just like a dream: leaving the funeral, singing to the sky
Casket got lowered while the hands got high

Then they told 'em what the Good Book said
Raised up with the Good Book read
Made from the mud, bought with the blood
They're drawing lines in the sand while I'm drowning in the flood
