Crooked Creek

I heard the preacher speak at Crooked Creek I heard the coyote howl from deep in my bowels I saw the trees slow dance in the neon wild Ain't it crazy how I still feel like a child? I heard the sound of a new world being born Thrashin' and a' crashin' into form I heard love in the distance calling my name Assuring me that everything is the same I took a ride on a raindrop and what do ya know I came across sadness sittin' alone I said, "What's the matter sadness, why are you so sad?" Sadness replied, "That's just how I am" And there was laughter after the carousel Completing the circle, far as I could tell And you can see where you're going Without doing the math If you're stepping in shit, you're probably on the path Yeah I know God, she's a friend of mine Comes over for beers all of the time Says the only thing certain is they'll draw the curtain And tie a little bow around your lovin' and hurtin' I heard the sound of a new world being born Thrashin' and a' crashin' into form I heard love in the distance calling my name Assuring me that everything is the same
