O' Lover

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
