SEVENTEEN HANDS

Went and got his shotgun. Water in his eye.
Walk out the backdoor. Shot a hole in the sky.
Watch a big ole fireball. Rise above the trees.
Look up into heaven. Standin on his knees.
Little drink a water. Something in his veins.
Feel a little achy. Feel a little stained.
Thinkin 'bout his breathin. Thinkin bout his time.
Just another minute. He gonna be just fine.
Seventeen hands lift me up to heaven
Seventeen hands take me home
Seventeen hands lift me up to heaven
Ain't nobody ever alone Ain't nobody ever alone
Make a cup a coffee. Eat a piece of bread.
Little broken pictures. Rumble in his head.
He can tune an engine. Make it sing and moan.
He can move his body like a black cat chicken bone.
Seventeen hands lift me up to heaven
Seventeen hands take me home
Seventeen hands lift me up to heaven
Ain't nobody ever alone Ain't nobody ever alone
