Salt of the Earth
Eyes stare
The thousand yard stare
As rain drips from your hair
From a past too dark to see
In asphalt mist, in the morning heat
Stopped in your tracks
Still on your feet but dead on your legs
Trying to hold on
Another rising of another sun
Mother had told you
You're the salt of the earth
And as you grow older
Well, these things have blow over
Mother told you
You're the salt of the earth
And now everything is said
You ain't never going back
The rain dries from your hair
And your eyes stare
The thousand yard stare
In a roadside bar, unknown to me
You try to blend in
And watch T.V.
Time ticks away
The better part of you
And if it does come back, then, what would you do?
You dyed your hair
You think you don't care
But you died a thousand deaths
And you can't go back
Mother had told you
You're the salt of the earth
And as you grow older
Well, these things have blow over
Mother told you
You're the salt of the earth
And now everything is said
You ain't never going back
Mother had told you
You're the salt of the earth
And now everything is said
You ain't never going back
The thousand yard stare
As rain drips from your hair
From a past too dark to see
In asphalt mist, in the morning heat
Stopped in your tracks
Still on your feet but dead on your legs
Trying to hold on
Another rising of another sun
Mother had told you
You're the salt of the earth
And as you grow older
Well, these things have blow over
Mother told you
You're the salt of the earth
And now everything is said
You ain't never going back
The rain dries from your hair
And your eyes stare
The thousand yard stare
In a roadside bar, unknown to me
You try to blend in
And watch T.V.
Time ticks away
The better part of you
And if it does come back, then, what would you do?
You dyed your hair
You think you don't care
But you died a thousand deaths
And you can't go back
Mother had told you
You're the salt of the earth
And as you grow older
Well, these things have blow over
Mother told you
You're the salt of the earth
And now everything is said
You ain't never going back
Mother had told you
You're the salt of the earth
And now everything is said
You ain't never going back
