lyrics

At a cabin in the woods
Deep in the Ozarks
Eating wild turkey
As the sky turns dark

Moon a jagged hole
In the gravelly sky
Finally at ease
Nothing to justify

Oh I have wasted my life

Gray bats circle
On a predetermined course
My heart beating
Like a fenced-in horse

To live out here
Where I was born
Still clings to my skin
A blackberry thorn

Oh I have wasted my life

My people taught me
To try and do right
In a world as mean
As a Branson cockfight

So I got a degree
The finest school out East
Now I hardly go back
Last chorus but not least

Oh I have wasted my life
