Joey's Arm Lyrics

Sons Of Bill Joey's Arm

Joey's Arm has two tattoos
The stars and bars and born to lose
With glassy eyes he waits for rain
Says it reminds him on his wedding day
And when you drive through Cumberland in the dark
You watch the woods and you see the sparks
You roll down your window and hear the sound
Of broken glass and coming down

(chorus)
The dirt underneath, the methadone and concrete
Has got to be more than dust and bones
Because the south ain't gonna rise again
But were holding out for Jesus
Or so they say on AM radio
And when you dont fit in at church or bars
You bite your lip and you hid the scars
You pass the freeway out of town
Of broken glass and coming down
(chorus)
The dirt underneath, the methadone and concrete
Has got to be more than dust and bones
Because the south ain't gonna rise again
But were holding out for Jesus
Or so they say on AM radio
Joey's Arm has two tattoos
The stars and bars and born to lose
With glassy eyes he waits for rain
Says it reminds him on his wedding day
