[Verse 1]
I can walk on water
I can raise the dead
We joined the Exodus
Headed out from Dollywood
[Refrain]
Every daughter of God
Has a little bad luck sometimes
Every daughter of God
Has a little bad luck sometimes
[Verse 2]
Kid in Bath County, Virginia
Sippin' piss-colored bright yellow Fanta
Heard someone died in the Planet Fitness parking lot
Fire trucks rolled in and people stood around
[Verse 3]
Hit 'em with a dose of Narcan
Sat right up in the leaned back seat of his two-door sedan
On the way home, play Drive-By Truckеrs songs real loud
Be my baby 'til my body's in the ground
[Chorus]
Drunkеn laughter
Violence after
Killing the heat
Salt strips the paint

What was the inspiration for the videoclip?
There’s also the “Bath County” video, which Hartzman directed and modeled after PJ Harvey’s “Man-Size” music video. The original clip, save for a short opening sequence, is entirely Harvey performing the song, looking straight at the camera, all one take. Hartzman, awed by Harvey’s confidence, chann...
