Momma warned you she’s a wild animal
Always talking about doors and windows
Testing out foundations for cracks that let the light in
Tie her down with words and with friends
Have you gotten any sleep since
Offer up your belly, teach her mercy
Feed her compliments
Keep her warm and content
She can’t run if she’s full
Still can’t sleep, can you
You can grease the devil’s palm
Doesn’t matter, she’s gone
She’s gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Or lay your soldiers in a line from here to St. Paul
She’s a wily one, she’ll swallow them all
Will they throw their guns on the ground
The first time they hear her howl
You can grease the devil’s palm
Doesn’t matter, she’s gone
She’s gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
If you know her secret she’ll heel without a leash
Now you know; she knows the price of running free
Would you count that as a win
Hearing your caged bird sing
You can grease the devil’s palm
Doesn’t matter, she’s gone
She’s gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone

One of the best folk-country albums I’ve heard in years. Great singing & playing, and superb songwriting with clever turns of a lyric. Brennen just does everything really really well! Cas P
