Lyrics
God is good all the time, yeah, all the time God is good
When I'm fucking tired of being polite and overall misunderstood
So I snuck on out into the street, cigarette between my teeth
Thought I heard the front door creek, it was just my neighbor with her cup of tea
She said, "What's realer than the part of you that you don't even claim?"
Well, I guess that's how West Memphis probably feels
Whatever shit they sell you next don't ever ease the pain
Ain't that just how them city slickers deal?
'Cause it ain't the boots, it ain't the bars
It ain't the trip on out to Mars
It's a well that's dug down deep inside of you
I ain't got no horse out in the race
But we're foes from that same place
'Cause this tragedy we all know is the truth
That country ain't a costume
Don't you let them dress you
Battle ship and a Ouija board
Who could ever ask for more?
Formula from the corner store
I had no idea they grew up poor
It was TBN and praise the Lord
Then Powerball was on by four
Granny said to trust the Lord
He'll heal the sick and settle every score
What's realer than the part of you that you don't even claim?
Well, I guess that's how West Memphis probably feels (feels)
But whatever shit they sell you next don't ever ease the pain
And ain't that just how them city slickers deal? (Deal)
Yeah, it ain't the boots, it ain't the bars
It ain't the trip on up to Mars
It's a well that's dug down deep inside of you
I ain't got no horse out in the race
But we're foes from that same place
'Cause this tragedy we all know is the truth
That country ain't a costume
Don't you let them dress you
They'll dress you up, sell you out and cut you down
And play their good old goddamn games until the gospel gets around
It ain't the boots, it ain't the bars
It ain't the trip on out to Mars
It's a well that's dug down deep inside of you
You can wear the hats and hit the gas
And wonder where you'll end up next
You're a lucky one, the truth will follow you
That country ain't a costume
Don't you let them dress you
The cost it takes to remember yourself as long as this goes
As long as this goes
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No one knows the cost, what it takes to remember yourself as long as this goes
No one knows the cost
Cost
