Shovels & Rope and Brandi Carlile - Cleanup Hitter

Everybody's in this together
Why you wanna break your back?
Pushing through the wind and the weather now
Lay another mile of track

He was a friend of mine
His heart was full of flames
He swung that hammer like a hard
Driving rain
Give him a familiar name

Becka's going out to the dance tonight
Why you wanna cut your tongue?
Try to keep it out of the disco light
Thinking back on when he was young

We never talk that much
I never knew her grace
But he was helpless when the light fell
On her face
Nothing ever stays in its place

Woo-hoo
Woo-woo-ooh
Woo-hoo

Wash my face in a clear cool stream
Try to shake off last night's dream
Man it's hard when you got it down into your soul

Maybe my sister's just got all the good luck
Maybe I missed it when the lightning struck
Just can't keep living off of rock 'n' roll

He spit a heart out 'til his mouth
Could take no more
The dust and leather scattered
Splinters across the floor
He never questioned who it was
He did it for
Nail it to the back of the door
