The Feud

Down by the Mississippi, buried in the mud

Is a five page oath and a bottle of wine

It's engraved in steel, it's written in blood

As far as I can tell, the blood is mine

I swear and I cry, â€Å"I can't let this secret down!â€Â

But it's best to let things lie buried in the ground

Up in the canyon's little leaf ledge

Is my twisted brain and a crying rain

There's a box of lightning, there's a box of lead

But there's a pail of hope next to my bottle of pain

Gov'ner if the sun goes down

Amazing grace I will have found

'Cause I need time to resolve this feud

If I don't have time I might shoot

It's my great granddaddy and my daddy's kin

They fell hell bent towards you and you against him

I don't know you'd better ask them

I don't know why, I don't know how

I just carry on the tradition

Gov'ner if I am so crazy as to raise this here gun

Oh Lord in Heaven have mercy on this one

Mother, rage and hate have made me blind

I carry on, my neighbor, I don't even know why

It's here in the saddle bag, my grandma's gold

I ride to dawn on my lightning mare

It's just like a story that's always been told

It's like I don't need a reason and like I don't even care

I swear and I cry, â€Å"I can't let this secret down!â€Â

But it's best to let it lie buried in the ground

Gov'ner you must realize

It's just the family name that makes me blind

Oh God, please brainwash me, scold me too

If I don't forgive, or at least forget

I will continue with this feud

Continue with this feud

Just like a cartoon

It's just a family feud

And as I end this tune

Will I continue with the feud?


Mirror lyrics:

Will I continue with the feud?

And as I end this tune

It's just a family feud

Just like a cartoon

Continue with this feud

I will continue with this feud

If I don't forgive, or at least forget

Oh God, please brainwash me, scold me too

It's just the family name that makes me blind

Gov'ner you must realize

But it's best to let it lie buried in the ground

I swear and I cry, â€Å"I can't let this secret down!â€Â

It's like I don't need a reason and like I don't even care

It's just like a story that's always been told

I ride to dawn on my lightning mare

It's here in the saddle bag, my grandma's gold

I carry on, my neighbor, I don't even know why

Mother, rage and hate have made me blind

Oh Lord in Heaven have mercy on this one

Gov'ner if I am so crazy as to raise this here gun

I just carry on the tradition

I don't know why, I don't know how

I don't know you'd better ask them

They fell hell bent towards you and you against him

It's my great granddaddy and my daddy's kin

If I don't have time I might shoot

'Cause I need time to resolve this feud

Amazing grace I will have found

Gov'ner if the sun goes down

But there's a pail of hope next to my bottle of pain

There's a box of lightning, there's a box of lead

Is my twisted brain and a crying rain

Up in the canyon's little leaf ledge

But it's best to let things lie buried in the ground

I swear and I cry, â€Å"I can't let this secret down!â€Â

As far as I can tell, the blood is mine

It's engraved in steel, it's written in blood

Is a five page oath and a bottle of wine

Down by the Mississippi, buried in the mud
