Hey all you migrant workers Flyin' down the freeway In back of pickup trucks No matter what the coppers have to say I've never known you But I respect you For comin' all this way every other day For only half the pay You're walkin' on a tight rope Cashin' in your orange groves For subdivided homes Neither one of us will ever own We're starin' from the road So glad we can't afford These double decker cookie cutter Houses made of particle board Hey all you Floridians Livin' for the weekend Inside your diesel truck No matter what the scientists they say I've never known you But I respect you For lovin' how you live your life Someday I hope I can say the same You've got your mud holes And camo colored clothes You're playin' country music louder than that speaker system holds If I convert you You'll lose your virtues And every other chance we have at coexistin' Like we used to do Hey all of you tourists Who come down here to throw a fit There aint a single reason that you have To act so childish I've never known you But I respect you For spendin' all that money tryin' to find Your family some happiness You have your rental car You've got your mini bar You're drivin' slower than I ever thought Was possible this far To see what I see To have what I have When what you're lookin' for it isn't farther Than your very own backyard Hey all you rain clouds You make the grass grow And too my father proud Of comin' early to his son at home We have a TV We've got a radio But nothin's quite as special as he and I Shootin' shit alone

about

"An on-the-road feel that keeps the songs both moving forward and bleeding out. A fascinating, charming listen." - Pop Matters

"Like a bonfire in the middle of a cathedral, Blessed Feathers' music is equally beautiful and unnerving." - WMSE
