Band Of Horses - The General Specific 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

What the writers say, it means shit to me now
Plants and animals
We are on a bender when it's 80 degrees
At the end of December, what's going on?
Only for you and me

With a show of hands
Who's going back to the South?
We're hungry next that I know
And running the blender in a lightning storm
Are disguised as a blessing I'm sure

Growing up here
There comes a fork in the road
Pants have gotta go
We're on an island on the Fourth of July
It 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
