lyrics

I can’t tell where one year ends
And the next year begins
But I know it’s a thin line
Between heaven and here
And I wash in the river
And this year will be my year

I know that the sun will shine
And then comes the wintertime
But I do prefer sunshine
Just to be perfectly clear
And I wash in the river
And this year will be my year

I sing me the song of the ox
Right over that long pine box
That they left in the field
By the hole full of ghosts
By the busted old post
That are shaped like a cross
And they make me feel
Like a dirty old sinner
And the line gets thinner
I am an ox and I eat the grass
If the preacher don’t like it
He can kiss my ass

Let me tell a secret, friends
About where you go when it all ends
Well I know it is a thin line
Between heaven and here
We can wash in the river
And this year will be our year

I sing me the song of the ox
Right over that long pine box
That they left in the field
By the hole full of ghosts
By the busted old post
That are shaped like a cross
And they make me feel
Like a dirty old sinner
And the line gets thinner
I am an ox and I eat the grass
If the preacher don’t like it
He can kiss my ass
If the preacher don’t like it
He can kiss my ass
If the preacher don’t like it
He can kiss my ass
