Band of Horses — The General Specific

[Verse 1] If the trials at hand are really getting you down We had a close call I didn't even see it, then another one I hardly believed it at all [Verse 2] What the writers say, it means shit to me now Plants and animals, we are on a bender when it's 80 degrees At the end of December, what's going on? Only for you and me [Verse 3] With a show of hands, who's going back to the South? We're hungry next that I know And running the blender in a lightning storm Are disguised as a blessing I'm sure [Verse 4] Growing up here, there comes a fork in the road Pants have gotta go We're on an island on the Fourth of July It looks like the tide is going home [Verse 5] In time I'd find a little way to your heart Down to the general store for nothing specific Gonna wash my bones in the Atlantic shore Only for you and me
