Good Book - John Moreland

They say John was the Revelator

You know I don’t know what it means, but I heard the record

It came to me in a dream I was havin' just the other night

Blood red moon and a fire in the sky

Then they tell 'em what the Good Book said

Raised up with the Good Book read

Made from the mud, bought with the blood

They’re drawin' lines in the sand while I’m drownin' in the flood

Voice in the woods, white dog in the road

Running from the man at the crossroads

Carry that burden I was worried 'bout, we ain’t sure

Good Lord, you know I ain’t afraid of hell no more

But I can tell you what the Good Book said

Raised up with the Good Book read

Made from the mud, bought with the blood

They’re drawin' lines in the sand while I’m drownin' in the flood

They said John was the Revelator

I know exactly what it means 'cause I heard the record

It felt just like a dream: leaving the funeral, singin' to the sky

Casket got lowered while the hands got high

Then they told 'em what the Good Book said

Raised up with the Good Book read

Made from the mud, bought with the blood

They’re drawin' lines in the sand while I’m drownin' in the flood
