November South - Lyrics

One Mile Deep

Ridin’ two blind horses as they carry me to hell

There’s a burnin’ in my eyes

And brimstones all that I can smell

I felt the mountain crumble as the walls began to fall

I came to make a livin’ but now I’m underneath it all

I can hear angels callin’

But it feels like the devil has my hand

Come tomorrow I’ll be right here in this place

Without a sound

Where no light shines

Way down in the mine

Like others done before me

I left my home in Tennessee

To work a Kentucky coal mine in 1923

The ten of us were one mile deep

When the beams began to crack

We all went down in a coal mine

Though we never made it back

I can hear angels callin’

But it feels like the devil has my hand

And come tomorrow I’ll be right here in this place

Without a sound

Where no light shines

Way down in the mine

Well don’t you cry now darlin’

Everything’s gonna be alright

There’s angels here to take me now and I know

One day we’ll meet on high

‘Cause I see the light

Way down in the mine

Listen Now

45 Staples

Forty-five staples and a hospital room

Honey honey

You were holdin’ me together ‘till the night was through

I went walkin’ down a weary hallway

Honey honey

Just tryin’ to find a way to get back to you

Just tryin’ to find a way to get back to you

It felt like I was dyin’

My life was fleeting

Honey honey

How much longer ‘till we see it through

I did my time but we still ain’t leaving

Honey honey

How we gonna make it when the bills come due

Yeah how we gonna make it when the bills come due

Pick me up

Help me now

Give me pills that knock me out

Chemicals and miracles are all we ever need

Wake me up

Call my name

Stick a needle in my vein

Chemicals and miracles are all we ever need

They’re all we ever need

Forty-five staples and a hospital room

Honey honey

I wouldn’t have nothin’ if it wasn’t for you

They cut me open and left me wounded

Honey honey

Now you’re keepin’ me together baby I love you

Yeah you’re keepin’ me together baby I love you

Pick me up

Help me now

Give me pills that knock me out

Chemicals and miracles are all we ever need

Wake me up

Call my name

Stick a needle in my vein

Chemicals and miracles are all we ever need

They’re all we ever need

Cold Dead Hands

I’ve been gone gone gone

And I’m a long long way from home

Out here on my own

Just a soldier flesh and bone

Bone…

Today I watched my buddy die

And it tore a hole inside my soul

I’ve been down down down

It’s the only way I know

Scattered pieces all around me on the ground

Yeah and I'm still scared as hell to hear the sound

In this fucked up war we fight

It seems there ain’t no end in sight

And when I found my buddy‘s rifle

I had to pry it from his cold dead hands

Now I’m on my knees

Beggin’ lord come help me please

‘Cause I hurt in every way

I can’t stop the pain or erase the day

And I’ve been down down down down down

A long and lonesome road

Road…

And I walk this road alone

‘Cause it’s the only road I know

Scattered pieces all around me on the ground

Yeah and I’m still scared as hell to hear the sound

In this fucked up war we fight

It seems there ain’t no end in sight

And when I found my buddy’s rifle

I had to pry it from his cold dead hands

Scattered pieces all around me on the ground

Yeah and I’m still scared as hell to hear the sound

In this fucked up war we fight

It seems there ain’t no end in sight

And when I found my buddy’s rifle

I had to pry it from his cold dead hands

Listen Now

Son of Abraham

Maybe I can make a point tonight

I ain’t out lookin’ for a fight

Just wanna state my claim and maybe change a mind

I’m not who I am

I’m not who you think I am

I am just a man

The son of Abraham

Give me somethin’ to believe in

‘Cause our world is burnin’ down

Give us hope

Give us peace

Give us justice all around

It’s weighin’ heavy on my heart tonight

Like we don’t know what’s wrong or right

Seems like the whole damn world has lost their fucking minds

When reason has lost its grip

And no one even gives a shit

All I know is times are strange we’re livin’ in

So give me somethin’ to believe in

‘Cause our world is burning down

Give us hope and give us peace

Open your heart and sing it with me

I think it’s time we stand together

I think it’s time we make amends

I think it’s time we made the call

United we stand

Divided we fall

Now give me somethin’ to believe in

All we really need is love

Give us hope give us peace

Give us better eyes to see

I’m not who I am

I’m not who you think I am

I am just a man

The son of Abraham

Monterey

Monterey, I always thought I’d go back home to Monterey…

I’d never dreamed it’d end this way well Monterey

just a single year away and then…

I’d come back to you

I’d have so much to say oh well Monterey

I’d tell you all about the time I spent away

Fighting for our freedom in a world away

And now that I am gone

I can see everything

you never know the price you’ll pay

I did my best but I can’t change a thing

I never meant to stay

And I’m sorry love, I’m sorry that I’ve gone away

But Monterey, I always thought I’d go back home to Monterey

Before I left, I told you don’t forget to pray

but I suppose God had other plans for me

I’m headed out and this time I ain’t goin back

to Monterey

Now that I am gone

I can see everything

you never know the price you’ll pay

I did my best but I can’t change a thing

I never meant to stay

And I’m sorry love, I’m sorry that I’ve gone away

Monterey, I always thought I’d go back home to Monterey...
