Jethro
Jethro stays out in the stables
Choosing the horse he will ride
He's gotta be just as sure as he's able
Like it's the heaviest choice of his life
I wanna be more like Jethro
Instead of acting on every desire
I wanna slow my roll, pick up a coal
And return it to the fire
Martha's laid out in the courtyard
Naming the stars she can see
There ain't a lot in the heart of the city
But she's as happy as Martha can be
I wanna be more like Martha
Instead of wishing I was where I ain't
I wanna make a pact to love where I'm at
In a crowd or on the range
Silas lost all he had saved up
On a risky mortgage in '08
There weren't no bailouts for small guys with his lot
But he's got no hatred, not even for banks
I wanna be more like Silas
Instead of making my balance my worth
I want my needs redefined, invest more in time
And pay interest to the earth
And pay interest to the earth
Choosing the horse he will ride
He's gotta be just as sure as he's able
Like it's the heaviest choice of his life
I wanna be more like Jethro
Instead of acting on every desire
I wanna slow my roll, pick up a coal
And return it to the fire
Martha's laid out in the courtyard
Naming the stars she can see
There ain't a lot in the heart of the city
But she's as happy as Martha can be
I wanna be more like Martha
Instead of wishing I was where I ain't
I wanna make a pact to love where I'm at
In a crowd or on the range
Silas lost all he had saved up
On a risky mortgage in '08
There weren't no bailouts for small guys with his lot
But he's got no hatred, not even for banks
I wanna be more like Silas
Instead of making my balance my worth
I want my needs redefined, invest more in time
And pay interest to the earth
And pay interest to the earth
