rachel baiman & nicholas jamerson - the vine that ate the south كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
in the shadow of the steeple, all fire and brimstone
anna worked her days away in the clouds of cigarette smoke
daddy was a sheriff; he died on halloween
his heart gave out when he saw a bridge comin’ down over norfolk creek
and all the holy hypocrites talkin’ out both sides of their mouth
spit the seeds that would become the vine that ate the south

[chorus]
it’s hard bein’ sober with the devil on your shoulder
and the family curse growin’ all around like the kudzu takin’ over

[verse 2]
in the loft of this a_framе, back can feel so close
swimmin’ with the spirits of the onеs i miss the most
reminisce on the feelin’ of raisin’ them a toat
i’m starin’ at the ceilin’ and prayin’ to their ghosts
i see how little you think you’re worth, and my heart’s yellin’ hard and loud
two generations from a dirt_floor house and the vine that ate the south

[chorus]
it’s hard bein’ sober with the devil on your shoulder
and the family curse growin’ all around like the kudzu takin’ over

[bridge]
kudzu grows so deep in the ground; every time you cut it back
it reappears to haunt you, turnin’ feelin’ into fact
askin’ for their presence, forsaken all their pain
takin’ what they’ve been through and tryin’ not to do the same
brought here as a cure to slow the backslide down
there’s a catch to any quick fix, now it’s the vine that ate the south
[chorus]
it’s hard bein’ sober with the devil on your shoulder
and the family curse growin’ all around like the kudzu
it’s hard bein’ sober with the devil on your shoulder
and the family curse growin’ all around like the kudzu takin’ over
