Piece of Land

I woke up with hands on a stone

Prayin’ my Cherokee soul

‘Cause I had a job that was

Bustin’ me up

At the diner

Black coffee cups

So I took a train headed West

A silhouette burnin’ my vest

And I took my cash to the

Old county bank

For a stake in

An acre of land

And as I watched the moon

Rise and fall

And come on in

Millions of spirit songs

Calling out

Upon the wind

All I want is a song

Why does it take so long

All I want is of heaven

Like a woman

I put up my hands on a wheel

I built up a house on a hill

But on the way home

They were callin’ my name

For a dollar

And blood in the rain

And as I watched the moon

Rise and fall

And come on in

Millions of spirit songs

Calling out

A reckoning

All I want is a song

Why does it take so long

All I want is of heaven

All the pain

Oh, the life it brings

All I want is a song

Why does it take so long

All I want is of heaven

Like a piece of land

Oh, and a steady hand

Oh, and a baby’s cry

Oh, and a riverside

Oh, and a summer long

Oh, and a woman

Oh, and a woman

Oh, and a woman

All I want

Is to bury up the dead

All I want

Is to marry down her bed

So when I wake up

With a coffee cup

Would you take me by the hand

Cause all I’ve got

Is a diamond

In my hand
