lyrics

that car ride, we drove it down
past the boundary water town
america, field of dreams, corn fields we couldn't see

and how was i to know?
everything was general
wolf crying in my ear
wanting seconds, want you near

i was that kid who prayed to god
said i'll be better if you make it stop
sunday mornings, in the pews
reverence was a prayer too

and can you hear me?
iowa, i'm so fucking near
blood spilt, i cannot speak
too pent up, i'm incomplete

america come help me out
bible, whisky, gun, and now
i'm rocking back and forth to sleep
take me back to how i keep

there was a girl who waited away
for a letter, for a prayer
from her other half
army garbed in a foreign land

"and can you hear me?
i've been waiting, this mountain's steep
blood spilt, i cannot speak
too pent up, i'm incomplete"

america come help me out
bible, whisky, gun, and now
i'm rocking back and forth to sleep
take me back to how I keep

remembering each
