Black Dirt And Borrowed Time
from Silvio Vinci Hosted by Silvio Vinci
BLACK DIRT & BORROWED TIME (reworking of original instrumental track by Silvio Vinci) [Verse 1] Daddy left a tractor And a note he couldn’t pay. I can get that motor talking, Can’t make the bank go away. [Chorus] Roll on, muddy water, Go on, have your say. You can take another acre, But you won’t take me away. [Verse 2] Her dress behind the kitchen door Still smells of last July. She said she’d leave before the rain— This time she didn’t lie. [Instrumental] [Bridge] Sunday finds me on the back steps, With a six-string on my knee. If the Lord wants my attention, He can come sit next to me. [Chorus] Roll on, muddy water, Go on, have your say. You can take another acre, But you won’t take me away. [Outro — half-spoken] Black dirt on my fingers… And a little borrowed time.
