Home isn't open, it's like when you get hit.
The jacks split a creek bed, the man owes the body.
Clock has its head stung low, back in the tall grass.
Stinging like a day's [F] woe, looking for brother.
Feels like winter, but it's the heart of the summer.
We can't go swimming, as long as we slumber.
He's moving long away [C] from home.
Long [G] away [C] from home.
And how do we get him?
One step takes one man, yo.
Three steps each.
Four steps back, and then yo.

And how do we get him?
