Plumb Line Songtext
von Kelly Joe Phelps

Let a windmill blow
I want to feel the waves beat hard against me
Let a windmill blow all this dust out of my head
Let a steeple ring
I want to hear a sound that′s not me thinking
Oh, let a steeple ring this dirt out of my bed

Strap on, shake your four-horse down
Beat down on a wooden drum
Laugh hard 'til heart is gone and that old trouble run


Let a baby yell
On a simple thing like an ear and a driveway
Oh, let a baby yell this dust out of my head

Give an old man grumble
Elin, wave the tag and bag the coat back
Give an old man grumble, sweep the dark away
Lay a high-booed heel
And swing that skirt from knee to elbow
Lay a high-booed heel, walk and walk away

Strap on, shake your four-horse down
Beat down on a wooden drum
Laugh hard ′til heart is gone and that old trouble run


Take a railcar whine
Tuck it down behind the silver
Take a railcar whine, song as sure as I
