lyrics

Never mind the axis
Oh, she know which way to spin
And we like corn and molasses
And getting mucked up in the ditch
We dont go to bed at night
Cause we don't like the way it feels
But we aint afraid of sunlight
Oh just dont let it get to low

Remember how we tried
Just to stay in your good graces
While you were washing all our faces
Whoa, remember how we lied
Just to stay in your good graces
While you were watching all your faces

Mama don't love her work
Oh but she do what the Parson say
Just dont tell her oh dont tell her that it is Sunday
And we dont go to bed at night, no
'Cause we don't like the way it feels
But we aint afraid of sunlight, no
Oh, just dont let it sink to low

Remember how we tried
Just to stay in your good graces
While you were washing all our faces
Whoa, remember how we lied
Just to stay in your good graces
While you were washing all your faces

Remember how we lived
Remember how we died
Remember how we hated watching Ma cry
Remember how we saw young Charlie in a fight
Remember how he was swinging with all his might
Remember where we stood
Remember where we stand

We were always upset at you for the childhood we missed
But you were sleeping with the father so that he wouldn't sleep with us kids

No, sorry did not know
The pain you was in
When you were raising us kids
No, sorry I did not know
The pain you was in
When you were raising us kids

Whoa, sorry I did not know
The pain you was in
When you were raising us kids
Whoa, sorry I did not know
The pain you was in
When you were raising us kids
