Most of the words in this song were overheard while I was eating breakfast in diners. The great thing about old folks is that many of us can't hear well and talk loud enough for songwriters to cop lyrics from.

lyrics

A DIAMOND RING CAN FALL INTO THORNS
and even the big golden gate can be locked
so fill your mind with the moment you're in
and don't go off half-cocked

OH, HURTFUL THINGS HAPPEN...WE GOTTA LIVE THROUGH IT
if we live through it,. 'cause you don't always do
when life hits the curb, you've gotta steer back to it
if you live through it,. 'cause you don't always do

OH, WE STEPPED IN A DITCH...THING GOT KINDA LOUD
we sort of lost our shit, yeah, I lost mine, too
we threw some punches with our texts and voices
we were meaner than Saul with the stones we threw

THERE'S ELITES SOUTH OF DANVILLE
we've got rich men down here, too
and all we are to them are tobacco-plugs
for them to spit out or chew

BUT, YOU CAN'T STOP A FLOOD...CAN'T STOP A MUDSLIDE
CAN'T STOP THE WIND...CAN'T STOP A TRAIN
CAN'T STOP A RUMOR AND YOU CAN'T STOP FALSE WITNESS
WHY CAN'T WE STOP LIVING THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN?

EVEN A GOOD HEART CAN GET TRAMPLED DOWN
and most critters ain't got no roofs
and even a fertile seed can get so scorched..
we just gotta keep dodging them hooves.
