Make the Dirt Stick Lyrics


There's nothing wrong with staying inside
There's nothing wrong staying home tonight
All week long was a world of restless
Whatever it takes for a little peace and quietI got a pump, be right out back now
I got a well up on the hill
All summer long was rain and water
Sometime surrender to God's willWhatever it takes, you best now surrender
Whatever you know, you gotta tell them quick
Scratching the wall with some old barbed wire
Whatever it takes to make the dirt stickI hear them coming with the crane and hammer
I hear them digging these holes in the ground
I feel like there's something bound to take me over
Son, do what you can in a mean old townWhatever it takes, you best now surrender
Whatever you know, you gotta tell them quick
Scratching the wall with some old barbed wire
Whatever it takes to make the dirt stickI said whatever it takes, you best now surrender
Whatever you know, you gotta tell them quick
Scratching the wall with some old barbed wire

Whatever it takes to make the dirt stick

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
