Band of Horses The General Specific song lyrics

If the trials at hand are really getting you down

We had a close call

I didn't even see it, then another one

I hardly believed it at all

And what the writers say

It means shit to me now

Plants and animals

We're on a bender when it's 80 degrees

The end of December, what's going on?

Only for you and me

With a showing of hands, who's going back to the South?

We're hungry, next that I know

Been running the blender in the lightning storm

Disguised as a blessing, I'm sure

And knowing ahead, there comes a fork in the road

Pants have gotta go

We're on an island on the Fourth of July

Looks like the tide is going home

In time I'd find

A little way to your heart

Down to the general store for nothing specific

Gonna wash my bones in the Atlantic shore

Only for you and me
