Iron & Wine "Southern Anthem" lyrics

Translation to:frhr

Southern Anthem

Just like the way that you ran to wineWhen they made the new milk turnJesus a friend in the better timesLet your mother's Bible burnFreedom a fever you suffered throughAnd the dog drank from your cupFrozen the river that baptized youAnd the horse died standing up

But when a southern anthem ringsShe will buckle to that soundWhen that southern anthem singsIt will lay her burdens down

Just like the way that you lost your gunsWhen they cut the clothesline looseJesus a friend of the weaker onesSaid "I'm all they stole from you"Freedom a thistle that withered dryStill a baby in your handsFrozen the ground refused to dieAnd the guitar rose again

But when a southern anthem ringsShe will buckle to that soundWhen that southern anthem singsIt will lay her burdens down
