O' Lover

Lyrics

All my chips are on the table
 All my cards are showin' down
 Things aren't going like I promised
 But I swear, I'll figure it out
 Season's soil it just ain't takin'
 The last few years we bled her dry
 There used to be cotton and tobacco
 Now nothin' grows, no matter what we try
 You know that store two counties over?
 On Tuesday nights they only run one man
 Now hear me out, I know it's risky
 But you gotta trust me, I gotta plan
 You can't call yourself a farmer just because you plant a seed
 You must bargain with the dirt,
 your hands must blister, they must bleed
 Only then will you find beauty not in the bloom but in the weeds
 O' Lover, love is not the only thing from you I need
 Got my dad's .38 revolver
 And I got a car that'll get us away
 We'll just let it do the talkin'
 No one gets hurt if they listen to what I say
 Now get your hands where I can see 'em
 And keep your mouth shut and fill the bag
 Thought I made myself extremely clear
 What part of that did he not understand?
 You can't call yourself a farmer just because you plant a seed
 You must bargain with the dirt,
 your hands must blister, they must bleed
 Only then will you find beauty not in the bloom but in the weeds
 O' Lover, love is not the only thing from you I need
 No, Lover, love is not the only thing from you I need
 Now listen up, hey, please stop shakin'
 It's very important what I'm 'bout to say
 We only did what we did to survive
 No one can know what happened here today
