Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Life is but a dream
Psilocybin in the spring
Made the foggy water roll
Book of Revelation sing
Had a dream that I was eight years older
Burying the dog with my eight year old
We were looking for arrowheads where the creeks meet
Blue skies on a nice day
He said, "Look daddy, it's a bald eagle"
I said, "Naw, buddy, that's an Osprey"
Your momma's calling, I bet supper's ready
Probably oughta start turning 'round
What'd I just get finished telling you, boy? Keep that barrel pointed at the ground
Make sure nothing's in it
Go hop in the truck, I'll be there in a minute
[Chorus]
Baby, give me liberty or give me death
Forty hours and a day of rest
Autumn leaves on these county roads
Grab a hand, y'all, bow your heads
Bunch of kids, little fertile ground
Raise 'em up right, pass it down
Fences keep the cattle in
But they can't hold the souls of men
Fences keep the cattle in
But they can't hold the souls of men
[Verse 2]
Swing by the market, we call it the mall
Chair on the porch, plow on the wall
Neighbors cashing out, selling the farm
Fadin' like a flag on a barn
Old church, holy ground
Tore us up when they tore it down
Some days sitting up here on this ridge, I can see the whole town
[Verse 3]
County paved over Riverchase
First time I ever kissed her face
Thank God, she's still by my side
Been a long year and hot July, goodness
Yeah, I guess I always knew I'd end up in this
Sleepy little town
[Chorus]
Give me liberty or give me death
Forty hours and a day of rest
Autumn leaves on these county roads
Grab a hand, y'all, bow your heads
Bunch of kids, little fertile ground
Raise 'em up right, pass it down
Fences keep the cattle in
But they can't hold the souls of men
Fences keep the cattle in
But they can't hold the souls of men
[Bridge]
The souls of men
Who fought and died
If they rise again
And they come for us
Wrong or right
In God we trust
At dawn, we'll ride
[Chorus]
Give me liberty or give me death
Forty hours and a day of rest
Autumn leaves on these county roads
Grab a hand, y'all, bow your heads
Bunch of kids, little fertile ground
Raise 'em up right, pass it down
Fences keep the cattle in
But they can't hold the souls of men
Fences keep the cattle in
But they can't hold the souls of men
[Outro]
Yeah, fences keep the cattle in
But they can't hold the souls of men
The souls of men
The souls of men
