Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sunrise in the skillet
Coffee burnt
Page in my hand
Old words
Heavy like river stones
Teach a hard-headed man
Storm’s howlin’ over the cypress
Billboard saints selling me ease
Book says
“You can’t rule the weather
Son
Only what drops to its knees”
[Chorus]
Mud on the Meditations
Rust on the old front gate
I can’t hurry the river
I can only watch and wait
World gonna spin like a record
I just choose how I spin too
Mud on the Meditations
But the words
They’re shining through (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Boss man barking on Monday
Traffic chewing up time
Anger crawls up my backbone slow
Like kudzu over my mind
Then I hear that quiet thunder
“Who owns your soul today?”
I can’t chain every wild thing out there
Just what my hands obey
[Chorus]
Mud on the Meditations
Rust on the old front gate
I can’t hurry the river
I can only watch and wait
World gonna spin like a record
I just choose how I spin too
Mud on the Meditations
But the words
They’re shining through
[Bridge]
Every hurt
Every sweet temptation
Comes knocking at my door (hey!)
But I pick what I let in here
I’m the guard
Nothing more
Can’t buy peace at the crossroads
Can’t chase it in my truck
Just plant my feet in the moment
Let the storm run out of luck
[Chorus]
Mud on the Meditations
Rust on the old front gate
I can’t hurry the river
I can only watch and wait
World gonna spin like a record
I just choose how I spin too
Mud on the Meditations
Yeah
The words keep pulling me through (oh yeah)
