[00:04.23]Scenic drive from auburn to diamond springs
[00:07.01]American river sparkles under the bridge on this fine day of spring
[00:10.96]To the sutter's fort where they
[00:12.43]Discovered gold to the right rolling vineyards and apple orchards
[00:15.52]
[00:16.55]I just passed the bridge and the sign for the town cool
[00:19.40]No but that sign was the last for the tim mooney ever took
[00:23.15]Before he left the world back in nevada city
[00:25.47]It was the summer where we cried for his wife and his daughter dixie
[00:29.30]Second day of april home still decorated Christmas y
[00:32.96]The front lawn's been cut and the backyard has a fallen tree
[00:35.56]Tomorrow my yard guy's gonna get back there and cut it to pieces
[00:38.74]I'm on the front porch staring at this old dusty bible and I'm writing lyrics
[00:42.03]
[00:42.76]And on the floors an old perloid accordion made by honer
[00:46.38]
[00:48.88]Three gas lamps two antique and the other faux
[00:51.76]
[00:55.29]And I'm out here and it feels good
[00:57.01]
[00:57.80]In this moment in this moment
[01:00.08]
[01:01.88]Writing words on my big black victorian wrap around porch
[01:05.48]
[01:07.82]Next we gotta be leaving maybe slightly
[01:09.64]But not so sadly gonna see manny pacquiao fight against timothy bradley
[01:13.96]Where I predict manny will lose by decision
[01:16.68]Suffering him to the fourth five brains bashed in his hangarounds keep winning
[01:20.24]Then I'm going down to new orleans for gulf coast oysters
[01:23.27]That's right baby I'm living my dream
[01:25.33]
[01:26.00]For the first moment I ever picked up guitar
[01:28.17]I knew my life would go down a different road than the kid next door
[01:31.83]
[01:35.99]I hear the birds outside tweet tweet tweeting
[01:38.55]
[01:42.23]And the cars along the highway off in the distance
[01:45.77]
[01:48.88]I hear an owl up in the tree hoot hoot hoot hooting
[01:51.82]
[01:55.12]I hear a spanish radio in the basement talk talk talking
[01:58.44]
[02:01.41]I smell the sardine can from the meal I've just eaten
[02:03.97]Gonna put this pen down stare off into the sky
[02:06.55]Dreaming with my heart is the world's biggest smile
[02:09.01]For the hell of it I'm gonna read a random passage from the bible
[02:12.21]
[02:14.43]It's been in this house since the first day I owned it
[02:17.10]It was laying open
[02:17.92]Swear I'd never touch it but my housekeeper picked it up and closed it
[02:20.81]So here we go gonna read just a bit of it
[02:22.96]Then look off into the pines and let my mind drift
[02:25.78]
[02:27.20]Chapter 9 st luke
[02:28.34]Christ sends forth his apostles feeds five thousand with five loaves
[02:32.40]
[02:33.26]Is transfigured and casts out a devil
[02:36.12]Then calling together the twelve apostles
[02:38.06]
[02:39.62]He gave them power and authority over all devils
[02:42.68]And to cure diseases and he sent them to preach the kingdom of god
[02:46.70]And to heal the sick and he said to them
[02:48.95]Take nothing for your journey neither staff
[02:50.40]Nor scrip nor bread nor money neither have two coats
[02:54.16]And whatsoever house you shall enter into abide there
[02:56.53]And depart not from thence and whosoever will not receive you
[02:59.99]When ye go out of that city shake off even the dust of your feet
[03:05.24]For a testimony against them
[03:06.61]
[03:07.52]And going out they went about through the towns preaching the gospel
[03:10.77]And healing everywhere
[03:11.65]
[03:16.57]So there I was I read a part of the book of jesus
[03:19.57]
[03:22.96]Now I'm eating sunflower seeds and chili lemon peanuts
[03:26.09]
[03:29.36]Sipped on a bottle of glacé au smartwater
[03:31.90]
[03:34.35]And fell asleep until from upstairs my girl woke me up when she hollered
[03:39.45]
[03:42.11]12:45 am
[03:43.73]Snl gwen stefani and the short actor guy actor what's his name
[03:48.06]We are the beautiful dead and the beautiful night
[03:51.27]I love my girl and my home and this miracle of life
