L.J. Booth – Box Elder

L.J. Booth – Box Elder Lyrics

Artist: L.J. Booth
Song: Box Elder

The federal express man was down on the driveway
Out of his step-van, cursing your name
It wasn’t the first time you changed his side mirror
Into a mirrorless frame

And though I know you are guilty of nothing
Except for the strong will to live in the light
You throw your seeds on the wind like a thistle
Good night, box elder, good night

I sat down in town at the bar full of elbows
The man from the county told me that time and again
When you tried to cut one like the heads of the hydra
They grow back in the power of ten

And though I know you arе guilty of nothing
Except for the strong will to live in thе light
You throw your seeds on the wind like a thistle
Good night, box elder, good night

And the man told me that from your tree
They formed the cross on Calvary
And the people cried, “crucify!”
And Pilate washed his hands

A cloud of blue smoke rise in the morning
The engine will sputter and the chain it will spin
But here at my window, tonight it is quiet
Except for the leaves in the wind

And though I know you are guilty of nothing
Except for the strong will to live in the light
You throw your seeds on the wind like a thistle
Good night, box elder, good night
