about

So I've begun recording my early morning writing/playing sessions while I'm watching my little one. The collection is affectionately called the "Dolly Sessions." If you're listening to this, it's because you are a friend.

One of the most wonderful and terrible things in the world is organized religions.

lyrics

CHORUS
Daddy was made outa dirt

VERSE I
There's stories in the bible I like
But I aint no quoter
I agree we all came from the same
mother and father my brother
I believe if you wanna go to
worship or play the guitar
or work that dirt out in the yard

You gotta feel it child Say amen
Holy day ain't Sunday it's a feeling

CHORUS
Daddy was made outa dirt

VERSE II
Flirtin with the devil ever since I was a youngin
I can feel a compass inside that pulls in
the other direction
Angels play harps and I play guitar
Even the best have lust in there hearts

Feel it child Say amen
Holy day ain't Sunday it's a feeling

CHORUS
Daddy was made outa dirt

VERSE III
Most of the ones I believe in have shortcomings
I have seen the holiest of folks tear down
there honest buddies
We all done things that could send us to hell
You gotta cherish that dirt right under your nails

Forgiven child say amen
Holy day ain't Sunday it's a feeling

CHORUS
Daddy was made outa dirt

VERSE IV
One thing scares me more than all those stories
human beings
bringing about the hateful self fullfilled prophecies
It's one thing if God came down
Now we got bombs to bring him around

Duck down child, say amen
holy day is scary it's a killing
