Midwest Dirt

Ain't no heaven, in them clouds, no there
Ain't no hell, down underground
All I know of this rotten Earth
The devil lives down in the Midwest dirt
People line up, one and all
Drink some wine, it'll soothe your soul
I've been raised and I've been fed
Blinded faith lies to level my head
Teach the young man
Before you fall to your knees
Beat down the gay and poor
God don't care for their need
Please don't spend life fading
Like a lost sheep in the fog
I'll warn you before you trouble
There ain't no face of God
There ain't no face of God
There ain't no face of God
There ain't no face of God
There ain't no face of God

The Animal Mother

Teacher can't help now he's gone mad
That old bitch pulls out her flask
Popping those pills ain't gonna learn him
Not for a twelve-year-old that's yearning, Oh no
Floodgates open to your eyes, yet you don't seem to mind
The crying of a helpless child, trampled on a shallow tide
Call him a madman
But the man was born to kill
He's the animal mother
He's been locked up for nine months now
Judge says next week they'll let him out
Jail time may not have done him in
Behind those bars the madman grins
Call him a madman
But the man was born to kill
He's the animal mother

John Muir Blues

My bones are aching to come alive
Its got me heading home, I'm heading down to die
I hear the mountains call, soon I shall be fine
Keep on loving mountain take me high
Til the land you love is dead
To feel the breeze, to wade in snow
I got a letter on, a letter on my door
Tell, the rivers cry, soon I'll feel that tide
Keep on loving mountain take me high
Til the land you love is dead
Hey baby, don't you bother now, I'm a dying man
Difference of you and me is how I see the land
Hey baby, don't you bother now, I'm a dying man
No more can I breathe in deep, a hit of fresh air
I am dying, I am dying
I am dying, I am dying

Moonlighting Man

There is a reason I brought you dear
All I could emulate was pain and fear
I was an old ugly child, yeah
You had my heart when it died, yeah
Ain't no man in me
Ain't no man in me
Worshiping my god
Ain't no man in me
I made a fool of you
Tried to stop the lying but I can't hear the truth
I got a woman now, up on the hill
Can't find no other man to make her feel
I got a woman now, up on the hill
Can't find no other man to make her feel
My heart is busted up
That won't slow my dying babe I know I'm the fool
I got a woman now, up on the hill
Can't find no other man to make her feel
I got a woman now, up on the hill
Can't find no other man to make her feel
Well it got me off for trying, what's bad and isn't true
I'll stay so lonely and blue
Til my little woman come back, Mary Lou

40 Grains

Run from the law, radiations high
Circulating blood drains out my side
Help me now, I've got a mind for you to mend
Shot me down baby, hollow my hide for another man
All in my lonesome I wish to die
Send to my angels, come and cry
Help me now, I've got a mind for you to mend
Shot me down baby, hollow my hide for another man
Help me now, I've got a mind for you to mend
Shot me down baby, hollow my hide for another man
Well my blood is gone, and it's taking me on
Aim and lock forty grains of rusted lead
Take a dip and settle down your rusty hand
Drag me to hell aside the angel of death

Medicine Lodge Treaty
04:18
|

I saw fire, fire and brimstone
Raining down, overhead
I heard lies, of a soldier
Staking claim, of our land
Oh Medicine, is my mother
And her mud, runs through me
Take my lungs, cut my knees now
Float me down, set me free
Arrows of war found, right through their wicked heart
Arrows of war found, right through their wicked heart
I see the sun, is rising
That muddy water, beet colored red
In the eyes, of a native
Your hollow soul, staggers dead
Satanta follow my eyes, Injun ire troubles my makers mind

Mountain Rag Austin, Texas
Fuzzy, heavy, and paying homage to the roots, Mountain Rag is the music of whiskey-soaked nights, and days spent wandering desert roads under a painted Big Sky. Michael Presho (guitar), Nick Dettmer (drums), and Ryan Nelson (vocals/bass) met with music in mind, soon recording songs that begin to unearth the dark mythology of the American West. ... more
