Tom Catmull: music and lyrics

Live and Die

(Tom Catmull)
I'm gonna call the radio station
and tell em' this aint no damn adaptation of a Dylan song
I pray I have not gone that far

Call letter call letter give me the words and line em' all up so that I ain't heard em' a million times.
I pray you ain't that kind.

Live and die
Live and die
to be moving forward to fill in the spaces that others have passed by
live and die
live and die
I've been wrappin' prayer flags around a rusty anodyne
all in time
in good time

Bartender bartender
settin' me free, let em' drink God willin and the amber creek don't rise too high, but let it rise this time.

An eagle flies around a red brick wall
to steady lonely hearts at a familiar hall in the town I live
this town is where I live
