Good Graces
Never mind the axis
Oh, she know which way to spin
And we like corn and molasses
And getting' mucked up in the ditch
We don't go to bed at night
'Cause we don't like the way it feels
But we ain't afraid of sunlight
Oh just don't let it get to low
(Refrain)
Remember how we tried
Just to stay in your good graces
While you were washing all our faces
Whoa, remember how we lied
Just to stay in your good graces
While you were watching all your faces
Mama don't love her work
Oh but she do what the Parson say
Just don't tell her oh don't tell her that it is Sunday
And we don't go to bed at night, no
'Cause we don't like the way it feels
But we ain't afraid of sunlight, no
Oh, just don't let it sink to low
(Refrain)
Remember how we tried
Just to stay in your good graces
While you were washing all our faces
Whoa, remember how we lied
Just to stay in your good graces
While you were washing all your faces
Remember how we lived
Remember how we died
Remember how we hated watching Ma cry
Remember how we saw young Charlie in a fight
Remember how he was swinging with all his might
Remember where we stood
Remember where we stand
We were always upset at you for the childhood we missed
But you were sleeping with the father so that he wouldn't sleep with us kids
No, sorry did not know
The pain you was in
When you were raising us kids
No, sorry I did not know
The pain you was in
When you were raising us kids
Whoa, sorry I did not know
The pain you was in
When you were raising us kids
Whoa, sorry I did not know
The pain you was in
When you were raising us kids
Oh, she know which way to spin
And we like corn and molasses
And getting' mucked up in the ditch
We don't go to bed at night
'Cause we don't like the way it feels
But we ain't afraid of sunlight
Oh just don't let it get to low
(Refrain)
Remember how we tried
Just to stay in your good graces
While you were washing all our faces
Whoa, remember how we lied
Just to stay in your good graces
While you were watching all your faces
Mama don't love her work
Oh but she do what the Parson say
Just don't tell her oh don't tell her that it is Sunday
And we don't go to bed at night, no
'Cause we don't like the way it feels
But we ain't afraid of sunlight, no
Oh, just don't let it sink to low
(Refrain)
Remember how we tried
Just to stay in your good graces
While you were washing all our faces
Whoa, remember how we lied
Just to stay in your good graces
While you were washing all your faces
Remember how we lived
Remember how we died
Remember how we hated watching Ma cry
Remember how we saw young Charlie in a fight
Remember how he was swinging with all his might
Remember where we stood
Remember where we stand
We were always upset at you for the childhood we missed
But you were sleeping with the father so that he wouldn't sleep with us kids
No, sorry did not know
The pain you was in
When you were raising us kids
No, sorry I did not know
The pain you was in
When you were raising us kids
Whoa, sorry I did not know
The pain you was in
When you were raising us kids
Whoa, sorry I did not know
The pain you was in
When you were raising us kids
