In the beginning there was Jesus And sin was black and hell was hot They never gave me any reason And I never knew to shrug them all And I was taught not to come home late Or turn my hand into a fist I've never heard the term RedState or fundamentalist But those ancient empty skies Will harm me all my life Rejections, all the lights that have left us behind Dancing in the back of the pickup truck Couch up, flying down the road Singing along your favorite song Song nobody here would ever know And how the drowsiness of happiness Make sure that it starts you it And the ropes we give into what it Says from the Chattahoochee river goes away Now nothing else could ever say Then in college there was hay Gold And PBR and Mary Jane And you used to peel off all the play bulls I used to dream of their own planes And we made love in your bedroom My mind wasn't there at all I was dreaming about the Warhawk It was hanging on the wall But those ancient empty skies Will hunt you all your live Objection, oh, the light that had Left us behind Dancing in the back of the pickup truck Couch up, flying down the road Singing along your favorite song Song nobody here would ever know And how the drowsiness of happiness Make sure that it starts you it And the ropes we give into what it Says from the Chattahoochee river goes away Now nothing else could ever say Some political freedom We volunteered for that campaign An ideological season Come, determine and fade away Now it's all about the winning Now it's all about the job Now it's all about forgetting Now it's about just getting on Dancing in the back of the pickup truck Couch up, flying down the road Singing along your favorite song Song nobody here would ever know And how the drowsiness of happiness Make sure that it starts you it And the ropes we give into what it Says from the Chattahoochee river goes away Now nothing else could ever say They will go back to that river We'll take off all our clothes But do we ever get to come out clean again? That's all I really wanna know
