Chris Whitley - Make The Dirt Stick lyrics

There's nothing wrong with staying inside There's nothing wrong staying home tonight All week long was a world of restless Whatever it takes for a little peace and quiet I got a pump, be right out back now I got a well up on the hill All summer long was rain and water Sometime surrender to God's will Whatever it takes, you best now surrender Whatever you know, you gotta tell them quick Scratching the wall with some old barbed wire Whatever it takes to make the dirt stick I hear them coming with the crane and hammer I hear them digging these holes in the ground I feel like there's something bound to take me over Son, do what you can in a mean old town Whatever it takes, you best now surrender Whatever you know, you gotta tell them quick Scratching the wall with some old barbed wire Whatever it takes to make the dirt stick I said whatever it takes, you best now surrender Whatever you know, you gotta tell them quick Scratching the wall with some old barbed wire Whatever it takes to make the dirt stick
