"Bible County" lyrics

All day long in Bible county
Used to hide in Henry's log
Lookin' down into the valley
Wonderin' when they'd run you off
Say light it up if you want it
Go search the redhouse when it's gone
Ohh Preacher Bill swears it's haunted
And the holy rapture won't be long

Packed your bags and moved to Richmond
Losing nights in all those bars
Gettin' by on make believin'
Trying hard to heal your heart
You came back home to the mountains
Your daddy owned that weldin' torch
My uncle Paul heard him shooting
Brought the devil to my porch

Well it's all gone now and the river cow is dead
Your old house is a lonely kudzu bed
And the birdbath broke and the flowers disappeared
Like you were never even here

All night long in Bible county
They say they see in on that bridge
Got that lighter that you left me
Got your picture on my fridge
And I know it drove you crazy
I know the pain it pulled you down
But you're all right now ain'tcha baby?
Said so long to this angry town
