Snipe Hunt

[00:13.96] (One, two, one-two-three-four)
[00:23.08] I flung the door open and let the heat rise
[00:26.16] To heat up the world 'cause I thought it was mine
[00:29.19] And all the while, all my plants froze inside
[00:32.18] 'Cause there's only so much to go 'round
[00:36.65] And it took me some tries and a whole lotta kindling
[00:39.58] But when the lesson arrived, it only took me a minute
[00:42.44] To learn there are some things are better off freezing
[00:45.42] I can tell you a few that I've found
[00:50.22] Hate is a thing that can poison your veins
[00:53.08] And get in your eyes when you're sweating on stage
[00:56.17] Shifting around for a clock on the wall
[00:59.34] Tell you it's almost over
[01:03.66] Vans that keep rolling and times for the birds
[01:06.55] The chirp in your ears, all the rumors they heard
[01:09.54] Flying above all the good in this world
[01:12.50] Shitting on cattle and clover
[01:16.86] Now when I was a young boy, I thought I could track
[01:20.01] And an old-timer sat down and reached me a sack
[01:23.07] And he told me all of the knowledge I lacked
[01:25.73] On an ornery ol' thing called a Snipe
[01:30.08] He picked me up on a Friday, and he dropped me in Charley
[01:33.41] Told me when he'd be back, and he went off to party
[01:36.34] And I sat on the hill like a Jeremiah Johnson
[01:39.12] And I froze my dumb ass off all night
[01:43.41] And that's the way that I feel when I look at our past
[01:46.76] And the handshakes you gave me, if you're callin' them that
[01:49.56] And the snickers you tried to pass off as laughs
[01:55.05] And the way your eyes never met mine
[01:59.11] Paranoia's a thing that you're makin' when sleep
[02:02.37] Ain't a thing you recall, ain't a habit you keep
[02:05.42] One ol' boy's nightmare is another fool's dream
[02:08.49] It's all in the way that you hold her
[02:12.83] Hotels are lonely, I reckon I'd know
[02:15.72] I've spent many of night in between shows
[02:18.87] Looking at paint as it dries on the wall
[02:21.49] On a booger you just painted over
[02:38.80] Life reminds me of a card game we played as a kid
[02:42.11] Where you laid down the deck 'til you got to the end
[02:45.02] Early on, there's a joker got lost 'neath the fridge
[02:48.32] Over time, all the queens moved in with him
[02:52.20] And I'd say the boy, had him an absolute ball
[02:55.59] But he ruined the card game for all us involved
[02:58.86] And I let it take me over like kudzu in Georgia
[03:01.56] And I hope you don't do that again
[03:06.44]
