lyrics
Grape And The Grain - Blackout Party
It's bound to be noon, when I pound my shoes on pavement
I sing to my own tune, make some new arrangements
We've had a good run, chalk it up to good luck
We're having so much fun, like buzzards on a gut truck
I stare out at the world sometimes, from a well appointed cell
Dreaming of the days before we all just learned the drill
If you could read my thoughts, man
You just might think I'm insane
Man I should've never mixed the grape and the grain
I got a big ol beard, like a plant I'm gunna let it just grow
But I'm feeling kinda weird, like a buffalo at a boat show
I stare out at the world sometimes, from a well appointed cell
Dreaming of the days before we all just learned the drill
If you could read my thoughts, man
You just might think I'm insane
Man I should've never mixed the grape and the grain
