lyrics

I pour raw milk into a glass
A tablespoon of black strap molasses
Beat one raw egg in

Saturated raw fats
Getting minerals such as
Potassium, magnesium, iron, selenium

And I thank God for what He has done
And I thank God for the stars, moon, and the sun
I want this for everyone
But I tried, and now I find you cannot pry a closed eye open

Breaking down pallets in the mud
I got them from Brian Hood
He found them late one night

He went out there with no help
Loaded them up himself
So I could use the wood

To build up a house inside a barn
That I bought with my wife and my son
So we could live and not be slaves with a loan
When I was desperate for a friend it was Brian, and I will never forget it
