lyrics

Billy wasn’t leaving Iron City
All on his high school charm
Hard work and drinking led to self pity
Self pity crystalized behind his firearm
One night he heard the bells of hell
He knew that he had to get well
So he set out with every devil close behind
Ice cream and mama on his mind
Through the blazing fields of green
Under every ghost of the Sun’s past
And emerges clean and bloody
from the mean grass
Sheila’s daddy put her mama’s picture away
She put her ticket out with mama in the Iron City dirt
But daddy wanted more than all the reasons she stayed
So she made a boutonnière and started to flirt
Clutching pieces of her prom dress she thought,
“That wasn’t quite like daddy does it.”
She left the boy in the car and every crossed line behind
An old picture of herself on her mind
Through the blazing fields of green
Under every ghost of the Sun’s past
And emerges clean and bloody
from the mean grass
If seeing is believing
Maybe we’re not here
If Jesus Christ crossed the picket line
Then we’re clear
From the dirt roads to the city streets
Our own blazing fields of green
See us rising
I call it rising
Under every ghost of the Sun’s past
See us rising
We’re rising
Stripped clean and bloody
From the mean grass
