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
