lyrics

Bury Me Deep

Bury me deep with my boots to the sky
So that daisy’s can grow from my feet, nice and high
Gather a bunch and take them to her
I could never abide
(To grow roots)

I’ll see you down
‘Neath that willow tree
Where the breezes
Still blows free
I’ll see you up,
Up on the hill
Where the breezes
Blow softly still

Carry me out in a rusted red Ford
A pine box is all that I need
Make sure my grave is dug deep and dug wide
I could never abide
(To grow roots)

I sid to her,
My heart is true
I said to her,
There’s no one but you
She said my name
And a tear drop fell
And then we heard
That train’s lonesome bell

Bury me in a hole a thousand miles wide
Rivers will flow like the tears out my eyes
Gather a jar full and take it to her
I could never abide
(To grow roots)

She is the one
In the settin' sun.
She makes me feel
Like a shiny new gun.
And no one else,
Can she replace.
Everywhere I look
I see her face.

Bury me deep more than six full feet
Our love was too much to bear.
I won’t forget though I turn to dust
I could never abide
(To grow roots)
(To take off these boots)

Venice Gas House Trolley Madison, Wisconsin

Venice Gas House Trolley is the sound of a new creative generation that believes imagination is liberation. The band is jammy, jazzy, funky, and tribal with spoken word poetry and heavy grooves. VGHT's music is packed with psychedelic soundscapes and boundary exploring arrangements while still providing enough hooks and thick grooves to keep audience's heads bobbing and feet moving. ... more
