Unreturnable Dirt Lyrics
Whistle Back
What if there’s no redemption
What if there’s no cure
What if when I die, it’s a surprise and I never know for sure
If I’m in a lake of fire or walking on a street of gold
I fell asleep, no soul to keep
And I just died when I got old
What if mama leaves the kitchen
What if daddy leaves the plow
What if sister leaves the church, gives up the search and is happy still somehow
Now that she ain’t got no Jesus, now that she ain’t got no sin
She just put ‘em down, went lost from found
And she never cried again
We’re all crazy
We only know in part
So here’s to the hazy
And to the hope you carry like a seed inside your heart
What if shouting hallelujah
Is a whistling in the dark
And the fire burns. The whole earth turns, but there never was no spark
And we’re all out to pasture just until the night makes us go slack
Well if you’re keeping faith, you’re losing face
So you might as well whistle back. Whistle back
We’re all crazy
We only know in part
So here’s to the hazy
And to the hope you carry like a seed inside of that little red-headed heart
And to the hope you carry like a seed inside of you heart
What if there’s no tomorrow
What if there’s just today
And all you got is one last shot to live and love and hate
And what you want ain’t coming
And what you need you cannot have
Well, I’ll tell you this: it’s hit or miss
So you might as well whistle back. Whistle back.
We’re all crazy
We only know in part
So here’s to the hazy
And to the hope you carry like a seed inside your heart
