Sink Hole (Live at Flicker Bar - Athens, GA - June 20th, 2002)

[Verse 1]
I've always been a religious man
I've always been a religious man
But I met the banker and it felt like sin
He turned my bailout down
The banker man lit into me, lit into me, lit into me
The banker man lit into me and spread my name around
He thinks I ain't got a lick of sense
'Cause I talk slow and my money's spent
I ain't the type to hold it against
But he better stay off my farm
'Cause it was my daddy's and his daddy's before
And his daddy's before and his daddy's before
Five generations of an unlocked door and a loaded burglar alarm

[Verse 2]
Lots of pictures of my purdy family
Lots of pictures of my purdy family
Lots of pictures of my purdy family in the house where we was born
House has stood through five tornadoes
Droughts and floods and five tornadoes
I'd rather wrastle an alligator than to see the banker's scorn
'Cause he won't even look me in the eye
He just takes my land and apologize
With pen and paper and a friendly smile
He says the deed is done
The sound you hear is my daddy spinning
The sound you hear is my daddy spinning
The sound you hear is my daddy spinning over what the banker done

[Verse 3]
Think to invite him for some pot roast beef
And mashed potatoes and sweet tea
Follow it up with some 'nana pudding and a walk around the farm
Show him the view from McGee Town Hill
Let him stand in my place, see how it feels
To lose the last thing on Earth that's real
I'd rather lose my legs and arms
Bury his body in the old sink hole
Bury his body in the old sink hole
Bury his body in the old sink hole under cold November skies
Then damned if I wouldn't go to church on Sunday
Damned if I wouldn't go to church on Sunday
Damned if I wouldn't go to church on Sunday
Look the preacher in the eye, ow

[Outro]
This song was written on the road back in January, and, uh
I think it's kinda self-explanatory
