How To Grow A Woman From The Ground lyrics

I caught a string full of fish down by the damn
I ll drag them back to the field they should be dead by then
Wipe the sweat off my neck and tally ho the plow
I m gonna grow a woman from the ground

The night was a chalkboard with a fingernail moon
If the fish ain t dead yet they will be pretty soon
Kinda like the feeling at an old folks home
Even though you love them you can t wait for them to go

I ll call her Angelina she s a teacher I once had
A halo of honey wrapped around her head
And she always used to give me some when I was a kid
I told her that I loved her and then I went and hid

I ll take you into town and I ll show you off
And there s room on your dress for a corsage
And I ll open up every door for you

I opened up my almanac and in my head I read
Cut your wrist on the fins of the fish and drain all you can
So I rolled up my sleeves and then began to draw lines just as deep as the days are long

I sewed up my wrist and sewed the ground with my blood
Staind up my clothes pretty good and I turned that dirt to mud
I couldn t help but close my eyes and lay my body down
Cause I heard it takes forever to grow a woman from the ground

I bleed for you now and I m skinny as a rail
And I ll be so obliged to keep you nice and warm and safe
and won t you be so proud of me
