righteous, ragged songs - lee bains iii & the glory fires lyrics

Loading...

when i look back on the road we’ve worn
all the forlorn love, and peace foresworn
i can say at least i’ve laid down all my bets
i’ve packed a fair bit of living in a couple three years —
terror and laughter and a couple three tears —
and i ain’t figured out how to pack out a room just yet
but i can pack two weeks in a duffel bag, and pack
a mean cigarette

if we’d just stop and think
about the one thing we’ve done right
it’d be writing ragged songs
about a righteous ragged life
and if we’d stop and think a bit longer
about where we went all wrong
it’d be learning how to live from righteous, ragged songs

alabama, by now, i should hope you know
i’d die for you if called to do so
but i’m being courted by california and tennessee
waiting at the gate, i wink away a tear
talking on the phone about fugazi and fear:
“dave, we’re fixing to board, but just one last thing, please:
say a prayer for punk rock, and a prayer for me.”

if we’d just stop and think
about the one thing we’ve done right
it’d be writing ragged songs
about a righteous ragged life
and if we’d stop and think a bit longer
about where we went all wrong
it’d be learning how to live from righteous, ragged songs
