Southern Grammar Lyrics

One day I tried to kneel
I tried to kneel but I could not
They said, "Go ye to the holy house."
And I took the long way aroundTeacher, come teach me
Another way to be happy
"Hey, buddy boy, who's asking?
I've been looking for the same thing."Chickamy, craney crow
Craney crow's a liar
Eat a peach or let it go
Yeah, you will take the long way homeSouthern grammar
Father and child
Let this be simple for a little whileSee is there work for me?
Is there a hammer and a nail?
Because I'm going that way anyway
Through the crippled green countryTeacher, come teach me
Preacher, come reach me
There's another way to be happy
And I've been looking for the same thingSee is there life for me?

Is there a wife and a baby?
Because I'm going that way anyway
Through the unfamiliar countrySouthern grammar
Father and child
Let this be simple for a little whileChickamy, craney crow
Craney crow's a liar
Eat a peach or let it go
Yeah, you will take the long way homeSouthern grammar
Father and child
Let's just be simple for a little while
