Scenic drive from auburn to diamond springs American river sparkles under the bridge on this fine day of spring To the sutter's fort where they Discovered gold to the right rolling vineyards and apple orchards I just passed the bridge and the sign for the town cool No but that sign was the last for the tim mooney ever took Before he left the world back in nevada city It was the summer where we cried for his wife and his daughter dixie Second day of april home still decorated Christmas y The front lawn's been cut and the backyard has a fallen tree Tomorrow my yard guy's gonna get back there and cut it to pieces I'm on the front porch staring at this old dusty bible and I'm writing lyrics And on the floors an old perloid accordion made by honer Three gas lamps two antique and the other faux And I'm out here and it feels good In this moment in this moment Writing words on my big black victorian wrap around porch Next we gotta be leaving maybe slightly But not so sadly gonna see manny pacquiao fight against timothy bradley Where I predict manny will lose by decision Suffering him to the fourth five brains bashed in his hangarounds keep winning Then I'm going down to new orleans for gulf coast oysters That's right baby I'm living my dream For the first moment I ever picked up guitar I knew my life would go down a different road than the kid next door I hear the birds outside tweet tweet tweeting And the cars along the highway off in the distance I hear an owl up in the tree hoot hoot hoot hooting I hear a spanish radio in the basement talk talk talking I smell the sardine can from the meal I've just eaten Gonna put this pen down stare off into the sky Dreaming with my heart is the world's biggest smile For the hell of it I'm gonna read a random passage from the bible It's been in this house since the first day I owned it It was laying open Swear I'd never touch it but my housekeeper picked it up and closed it So here we go gonna read just a bit of it Then look off into the pines and let my mind drift Chapter 9 st luke Christ sends forth his apostles feeds five thousand with five loaves Is transfigured and casts out a devil Then calling together the twelve apostles He gave them power and authority over all devils And to cure diseases and he sent them to preach the kingdom of god And to heal the sick and he said to them Take nothing for your journey neither staff Nor scrip nor bread nor money neither have two coats And whatsoever house you shall enter into abide there And depart not from thence and whosoever will not receive you When ye go out of that city shake off even the dust of your feet For a testimony against them And going out they went about through the towns preaching the gospel And healing everywhere So there I was I read a part of the book of jesus Now I'm eating sunflower seeds and chili lemon peanuts Sipped on a bottle of glacé au smartwater And fell asleep until from upstairs my girl woke me up when she hollered 12:45 am Snl gwen stefani and the short actor guy actor what's his name We are the beautiful dead and the beautiful night I love my girl and my home and this miracle of life编辑于2023/05/09更新
