The General Specific

[Verse 1]

If the trials at hand are really gettin' you down

We had a close call

I didn't even see it, then another one

And I hardly believed it at all

[Verse 2]

What the writers say, it means shit to me now

Plants and animals, we are on a bender when it's 80 degrees

At the end of December, what's goin' on?

Only for you and me

[Verse 3]

With a showin' of hands, who's goin' back to the South?

Where hungry necks that I know

And runnin' the blender in a lightning storm

Are disguised as a blessing, I'm sure

[Verse 4]

Knowin' ahead there comes a fork in the road

Pants have gotta go

We're on an island on the Fourth of July

It looks like the tide is going home

[Verse 5]

In time I'd find a little way to your heart

Down to the general store

For nothing specific, gonna wash my bones

In the Atlantic shore

Only for you and me
