Drive-By Truckers - Made Up English Oceans Lyrics
6x9 and counting down in one after the other
they'll go running up and down the road, angry as their mothers
over senseless acts of selfishness on made up English oceans
and made up English stomach contents tied to senseless notions
their natural fear of anything less manly or less natural,
like gunless sheriffs caught on lonesome roads and live to tell it
How hard it is for meaner men without the lead to sell it
Only simple men can see the logic in whatever
smarter men can whittle down till you can fit it on a sticker
Get it stuck like mud and bugs to names that set the standard,
They'll live it like it's gospel and they'll quote it like it's scripture
Its no matter if they dress real nice and sit up straight and stupid
They're no different that the ones who close their eyes
and fall down to the ground
and twitch just like their nerves have come undone
So be it if they come to find out feeling good's
as easy as denying that there's day or night at all
til what it takes to feel a thing seems so far out of reach
they just claw their skin and grind their teeth and bawl

Doet mij een beetje denken aan Johnny remember me van John Leyton
Who's the girl in the video? Gorgeous!
It's been 3 and a half years since she's been gone. I remember her telling me what it was like to film the musing video
Cooley is such a gem of a songwriter, he reminds me of Ron sexsmith or Paul westerberg in that you either love his work, or you just haven't heard it yet.
This SO reminds me of Johnny Cash. {not the video, the music}
She should try doing that with the Koran and see what happens. Or maybe not!
great album, makes up for that last one which was pretty bad compared to their other stuff
I'm 11 and this September will be my 2nd time seeing DBT. can't wait
Here's hoping you're 15 now.
Haven't seen y'all since I got sober...may be too much to handle, but I love y'all so and you've made me incredibly happy over the years in the umpteen times I've seen y'all includin a pilgrimage to Birmingham to see y'all on semi-home turf.
Mike is doing a great job and brilliant video
He's a bit uncomfortable but he's loved by all DBT fans like a brother
Rock on and he writes and dings quality songs on the new DBT release. Awesome when I saw them in April, they opened show with this piece of magic
such a great song and such a weird video. Boy Mike looks uncomfortable. But damn I love this song,
i still can't figure out what this song is about
It's about the republican political operative lee atwater who developed a political strategy of playing on religious fears to get voters
I haven't seen a weary stare quite like that since John R. passed away.
Awesome, Nice job.
Weird in a good way.
