Smoke Over Carolina

who'll cook your dinner now your servants have fled
who'll clean your mess who will make your bed
it won't be me though my hands are free
you can't count me among your dead
you can't get close to heaven walking around on your knees
you can't pay me to wait for this hell to freeze
so i'm leaving today there's fire in the trees
and smoke over Carolina
grandpa told me be a union man
he told me never give up the fight so I took a stand
what of you what did you do
you put the torch to the fuse and then you ran
you can't get close to heaven walking around on your knees
you can't pay me to wait for this hell to freeze
so I'm leaving today there's fire in the trees
and smoke over Carolina
where did we go all the ones you disappeared
who you marched blindfolded across the square
you can do your best pol pot, papadoc, or pinochet
we're not going anywhere
you can't get close to heaven walking around on your knees
you can't pay me to wait for this hell to freeze
so i'm leaving today there's fire in the trees
and smoke over Carolina

Pieces of Your Soul

drifting west through the snow
a little to the right of Mexico
leaving your weeping swamps behind
worry hanging like moss on my mind
I can't help it
I move too slow
looking over my shoulder I see something
heavy in tow
some things we carry
some things we must let go
you lose pieces of your heart
you might find pieces of your soul
would you go back if you could
would it do you any good
there's trouble new and trouble old
there's so many stories that don't get told
we can't help it
we move too slow
looking over your shoulder don't you see
something heavy in tow
some things we carry
some things we must let go
you lose pieces of your heart
you might find pieces of your soul
when the rain came down on you
that rain came down upon me too
watching that muddy water rise
I got some of that water still in my eyes
the Whiskey River follows you
the Colorado she can't be true
the Sabine she'll tear us apart
the Mississippi will steal your heart
she can't help it
she moves so slow
looking every which way
I see something
heavy in tow
some things we carry
somethings we must let go
you lose pieces of your heart
you might find
pieces of your soul
pieces of your soul
