"Apples To Oranges" lyrics

"Apples To Oranges"

Peasants mostly we remain high up on this earthly chain
There ain't never been no royal strain pass through my DNA
We don't burn books or lick boots turn tricks or fix truths
But at the awful violet hour, what shadows we pursue
I was raised up on Roman Law and Bill Monroe
Cutting edge, cutting corners, rushing Art to pay the mortgage
Apples to oranges
Apples to oranges

He sold boiled peanuts and cords of white oak and hickory
There at the 4-way heading towards Ellijay this side of the mountain
He went to Vandy with the fugitives, Southern agrarian
Dissertation on Cicero; to the pines and the mushrooms we go
I was raised up on Roman Law and Bill Monroe
Cutting edge, cutting corners, rushing Art to pay the mortgage
Apples to oranges
Apples to oranges

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Keep on shining
Keep on shining
