Popped in the Dark, Buried in Mud - Dark Country Boy
They put me down where the roots run deep
Under the moon in the forest keep
But the earth can't hold a heart so wild
I claw my way out like a feral child
The shovel struck and the preacher prayed
But the night knew better than the hole they made
The stars all blink like this all my grin
A rebel spirit ain't caged by sin
Popped in the dark where the shadows hum
Buried in mud but the call still comes
I'm the whisper that arise the wind
The rebel that death couldn't pin
Footsteps echo on a hollowed hill
My breath's a ghost but my heartbeat still
The crows all laugh and the trees bend low
Even the dirt knew I wouldn't let go
They cursed my name with a holy fire
But the flames fed my endless desire
Ashes to ashes don't mean a thing
When you're born to dance where the devils sing
Popped in the dark where the shadows hum
Buried in mud but the call still comes
I'm the whisper that arise the wind
The rebel that death couldn't pin
