Jeff Plankenhorn – Tooth and Nail Lyrics
Artist: Jeff Plankenhorn
Song: Tooth and Nail
It’s joy and misery every time
It seems you’ve got to prove it
Like an old cat having kittens
You just crawl under the porch and do it
Spittin’ out words a whole lot faster
Than you can even write ‘em down
And every time you’ve got to believe
It’s the sermon on the mount
Tooth and nail
Fireball mail
A runaway train
In a driving rain
Whoa, comin’ off the rail
Tooth and nail
It’s a raven perched on a window sill
On a cold and stormy day
It’s the sign of the times written on
A one-string fiddle or a Steinway
It’s a mandolin in an angel’s hand
Playing “The Wreck of Old ’97”
Or a prayer to the gods to send me some lightning
From a distant heaven
Tooth and nail
Fireball mail
A runaway train
In a pouring rain
Whoa, comin’ off the rail
Tooth and nail
It’s Wrecks’s Old Quarter on a Saturday night
With a young Hayes tendin’ bar
It’s Baptist church on a Sunday morning
With a hungover choir
It’s a young girl named Jaimee
Who’s a little high-strung
She got a tattoo on her right arm
Of the poet who wrote lungs
Tooth and nail
Fireball mail
A runaway train
In a driving rain
Whoa, comin’ off the rail
Tooth and nail
