Lines In The Dirt Brad Colerick
I knew when I started writing this that it would likely be the title cut. I began writing it driving west across Colorado on I-70 and finished the last verse in a Boston hotel room months later after a flight to London was canceled due to terrorist activity.
Brad Colerick – lead & bg vocals, acoustic guitar
Ed Tree – electric guitars, organ, gut string guitar
Nick Vincent – drums
Paul Marshall – bass
Bob “Boo” Bernstein – pedal steel
Lyrics
It goes on for miles, staking my claim One my grandfather etched in my name Made of barbed wire, sharp to the touch Lines have been drawn by the blood from these cuts And the fences are here for the cattle Least that's what I've always believed But I stand here at odds with my shadow Safely surrounded by these Lines in the dirt, lines in the dirt… This place it reminds me of things I let go Like songs that I started but no longer know And when I lay my head down close to the earth I listen to reason for what it is worth And the wind whistles down through the valley It's a sound that's become part of me And I look to the West for the skyline Through the dust in my eyes all I see Are lines in the dirt, lines in the dirt… And the sparrows fly over me Free from humanity They don't know all the history That curses the sanctity of this dirt The sun it beats down now on soldiers’ young hearts Put there to finish what the other side starts And some will come home from the front lines of war And ponder their brothers who died by their swords And the lines have been drawn by their fathers Least that's what they're lead to believe But the fight, it goes way past the borders Into battles so poorly conceived Over lines in the dirt, lines in the dirt…
