about

the version that's on the album.

lyrics

It was something she compared me to
so I went down the rabbit hole to find out who
she drew her sword and screamed at us all
with each passing day, the deeper she would fall

I found myself wantin' to play the villain
so as I begun my plan I formulated
a thousand different plans to keep her locked within
but when I tried it out, she had me excavated

I saw it all as another silly game
through it all, I wasn't all against the grain

Jump aboard the Orange Blossom Special
ride the rails and say, "oh, what the hell"
speedin' down to your ever-loomin' doom
all you know is that it's comin' real soon

Locked between the floor and the surface
weighted down by chains meant to bind
I drove her mad until she was left broken
and I took out my stupid little sign

I found myself shakin' at my actions
I had to kept the vicious cycle alive
it's okay - we're in different positions
I don't know how I could or should survive

I saw it all as another silly game
through it all, I wasn't all against the grain

Jump aboard the Orange Blossom Special
ride the rails and say, "oh, what the hell"
speedin' down to your ever-loomin' doom
all you know is that it's comin' real soon

So I try to set her up at the compound
she swears to Christ that she is clean
other than the firecrackers and the the radio's sound
we didn't say a word in case she'd blast us right between
the eyes and everything from here to Delmarva
playin' Carter Scratch until the light overcomes
I'd rather be safe at home in good Dahlonega
I make a run, drive off, she shoots at her final sunset

Jump aboard the Orange Blossom Special
ride the rails and say, "oh, what the hell"
speedin' down to your ever-loomin' doom
all you know is that it's comin' real soon

I saw it all as another silly game
through it all, I wasn't all against the grain
I saw it all as another silly game
through it all, I wasn't all against the fucking grain
