Mama called you baby center stage
She could really run her mouth
Baton Rouge called you petit ange
And Birmingham could run you out
Doesn’t anybody see how scared you are?
There was a time I was running you down
But the world kept spinning round
Doesn’t anybody see how scared you are?
There was a time when you were running to me,
Baby Centre Stage

Back alleys full of rain
and everything shining
as holy as she can be
the trick’s in the timing
Free as a morning bird,
fragile as china,
she’s stuck in the weakest heart
of South Carolina

But it all came down to you and I
But it all came down to you and I
There were banged up hens (?) stealing first base
underneath the tables so we never sang grace
falling out of bed for the workday week
there was kissing in the cracks of the flash flood streets
there were button blossoms and merry Johnny rottens (?)
chewed up and swallowed by the profit they were trying to follow
Bit too green (?) and we paid no tax on our quick romantic cul de sac

We found each other blown between the trees,
Waning moons wanting to be swallowed by the sea
Like we finally saw the colors
of the world
We grew the garden snake within the weeds,
Laid each other long across a flat back street
Like we finally saw the colors
of the world

Deep inside the heart of this troubled mess
There's an itty bitty boy tuggin' hard at your hand
Born bitter as a lemon but you must understand that you are bringin' me joy
I only lie when they don't want the truth
I'm only frightened cuz you finally give me somethin' to lose
It's as loud as a thunderclap but you hear it too
But you're bringin' me joy.
[Interlude]
Joy

I came to you, and you to me
And we were tapping on the window of the children when the piggy-bank broke
Pitching quite a fifth
But how the makers of the medicine will always say you’re looking sick
I came to you, and you to me
And we would wear up to the women washing … in the form of white gloves (?)
But the funny thing was how in in God and his people were dreaming about the wilds to leave
And all the fingers that we damaged when all we wanted was a diamond ring

(Verse)
In the wake I’m waiting for the light to change
Is about your mind, but I can’t complain.
He can make a lot of money, he can touch his toes,
He knows he never looked to the lights alone.
(Chorus)
I love you and you love me,
So we never demand and we never agree.
Low Light Buddy Of Mine

When we all ran back into the briars
We told our children bout the foreign shore
When we threw our boots into the fire
We told em all about the tug of war
Wanna tell em bout the seed and the shovel
About the prison and the promised land
Gonna tell em bout the dream of the devil
About the hurting and the healing hand
That hand

There go the cops with the tongue? cat teeth
here come the church mice trying too hard
she had a way to be kind with words
i had a knife in the back of my guard
nobody knows when the rain may come
nobody wants to wake up and be cruel
she lock the door and the sun went down
south carolina with nothing to lose

(Verse)
As new as he, California’s gonna kill you soon
A bus with boys, but calls in the shadow of the moon.
Black houses in the hills and road side hearts
Dying for a place to fall apart.
Who knew that you can learn to live without?
Mother Mary’s laying in your mouth now.
Big home to catch his warm with grace must whine
Never think this girl is nice to grown.

Well it's cold, and you're bored
From counting the smart cars on 94
When you dream you're back home
But the lakeside won't trust you to walk alone
Hollow trees, talk of hand (?)
All the neckties are toasting with empty cans
And you know why she's gone
Clothes in the river, drifting on
