Lord Jebediah, won't you let me down Promise me a place from here much better There's aftermath, them tires intact [?] Won't you give it all up for me? I'm sad to say the time of day Been a lone cabin down there by the river Raise your kids the best there is And not worry 'bout your head and quiver
Yeah, this place ain't saving grace You can't buy more peace than it pays There's war paint, more blood than there ain't And there's smoke down there on the river
Old Jebediah's serving two more years And he's landing a job with the man selling off landslides Paired away the golden maid And stayed enough to build that home for marriage Now the time of day cut the wolves away Made a deal with the tribe and he hoped to cheap the keeping It all came down to plan B [?] ones who need it
Yeah, this place ain't saving grace You can't buy more peace than it pays There's war paint, more blood than there ain't And there's smoke down there on the river Oh, the river
Yeah, this place ain't saving grace You can't buy more peace than it pays There's war paint, more blood than there ain't And there's smoke down there on the river
