Divine Lorraine

All my friends got dirt beneath their fingers

We're the neighbor kids they always shooed away

We're on that team that always lose

With weak paychecks and weekend blues

And bills that come that we'll forget to pay

You get ground so down

That you forget the sound

The sound she makes when she calls out your name

So slow down, hear that low sound

And learn to love the clatter of her chains

Stay true to me, Defy in the rain

We're the ones whose work you put your name on

The ones who set those lyrics that you stole

You do the crime, we do the time

You dirty fucker, steal my shine

Pretty soon we'll be out on parole

But the middle of the road takes a toll

You get ground so down

That you forget the sound

The sound she makes when she calls out your name

So slow down, hear that low sound

And learn to love the clatter of her chains

Stay true to me, Defy in the rain

You get ground so down

That you forget the sound

The sound she makes when she calls out your name

So slow down, hear that low sound

And learn to love the clatter of her chains

Stay true to me, Defy in the rain

All my friends got dirt beneath their fingers

And we scratch our little grooves into the grain

Mama said you can be anything

So I made a song that we could sing

And I washed the dirt off dancing in the rain

(Ah, stay true to me)

And learned to love the clatter of her chains

(Ah, stay true to me)

Stay true to me, Defy in the rain

(Ah, stay true to me)

Stay true to me, Defy in the rain
