Bible Belt Lyrics


Lo and behold your mother is drinking again,
This might be the coldest winter since records began,
You were alone, steady with wintry calm,
Leading the children softly across the farm,Each morning you'd march your sisters like soldiers to school,
'Cause lo and behold your father had drunk all the fuel,
You were alone and steady with wintry calm,
Somewhere inside the fire in your youth went dark.But you swear blind there is no weight in the water pail,
You say my love, you take the cards that you're dealt,
'Cause there's no guiding light arcing a line to Bethlehem,
If it's dark outside you light the fire yourself,And darling when the ice caps melt, when the devil's in the bible belt, don't cower in your bed.
I'll be on the 5-4-5, you can meet me at the railway line, and don't look so scared.
'Cause we've been through worse than this, before we could talk.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Since forming in spring 2009, Dry the River have toured extensively in the UK and Europe promoting their “careful mix of emotive, lilting folk and upbeat, impassioned rock’... NME. Based in a shared two-bedroom house in Stratford, east London, the five came together via circuitous geographical and musical routes. Musically the back-history is no less varied, with the band citing an esoteric list of influences - Leonard Cohen, At the Drive-In, Neil Young, Arlo Guthrie, Neutral Milk Hotel , Bruce Springsteen and Devendra Banhart.
