i saw a psychic
and she told me
you were coming home soon
and i believed her
cause i cannot stand
another faithless
day down by the river
while i wait and wait for you
i saw your mother
and god help me
but i bit down on my tongue
even hopes a bitter drink
and i dont know what you’d think
of where i get hope from and
and you got that from your childhood home
don’t you ask me
where the rolling river goes
cause i dont know
and i do not want to know
saw a numerologist
and asked him to read
seconds of my life
asked where god would find me
why faith never dignifies me
and how far as im aware of time
im seconds off im never quite aligned
i saw him frown
i saw him pray for me without the nerve
to speak the words
and i went right back to the river
and i tried to bathe it off
and i tried to be a baptist
but im still just seconds off
don’t you ask me
where the rolling river goes
cause i dont know
and i do not want to know
so i saw the undertaker
fingers with all rings
of many stones and gold
tried to turn my pockets out
sent pennies falling graceless
to the ground i saw it cross her then
it wouldnt be enough to bring you home
and im a saint now
im the patron of all
beatup dawn commutes
and i think faith’s for those with healthy homesteads
rosarys and rings of gold when
youve got nothing left
there is no food of faith just
pennies in your hand
don’t you ask me
where the rolling river goes
cause i dont know
and i do not want to know
i go back to the river
and i dont think it means
anything at all
ive been witherd bone-deep
i keep heckling your ghost see
i give everything ive left and let it sink
and now theres nothing but to drink
deep from my open palms
and pray in time that summer calls me down
and i let it revive me
let the river crucify me
i let everybody in and i let
everybody see me as i am
and i will see your loving face again
i will see your loving face again
mercy, i gave you all that i had left
i will raise you from the river bed
don’t you ask me
where the rolling river goes
cause i dont know
and i do not want to know

Being super into Western music, cowboys, etc. is a meme to some people.
Not to us.
This album roars into existence with a driving 12-bar blues and keeps up the energy for 40 straight minutes, bouncing to every esoteric corner of the genre and everywhere in between with perfect execution. Listen to this album, then listen to it again to get all the stuff you missed the first time around. Instant classic. coyotewall
