Heard of a land held by a troubled hand
Where the whiskey runs the coal
Don’t you dare go ask the newsman
Cause he’ll tell you everything
He don’t know
She was the daughter of the second American
Revolution
A tall girl with a stones constitution
And when she looked into their eyes to see
She know she ain’t never going back to what
She believe
To what you believe
So go and riddle me over
I’m a man got nothing to show for
My work in the ground
In this here londontown
So go and riddle me over
I’m a man got nothing to show for
My work in the ground
Got my back to the fire
But it ain’t the bridges that are fallin’ down
They said they would never fight no more
After the day she went away
What in the world are we all fighting for
If we don’t give they’re going to take
So go and riddle me over
I’m a man got nothing to show for
My work in the ground
In this here londontown

So much searing honesty in the most beautiful arrangements of words and harmonies. Storytelling and first person narratives in the songs that I resonate with deeply.

I listened to Dispatch a lot back in college. Then they had a farewell tour and I thought I'd never hear from them again. I wasn't until recently that I found out the band had got back together years later. This album really shows how they have grown as artists. gludwig311
