The General Specific Songtext
von Band of Horses

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
