free state of jones - oh jeremiah lyrics

[verse 1]
my neighbor’s granddaddy deserted in the civil war
he knew but couldn’t face it, what they were fighting for
down in the devil’s den you could hear them cattle h*rns moan
by valor and arms, down in the free state of jones

[verse 2]
he first told me the story when i was 10 years old
about a man who couldn’t stand to see another man sold
his daughter went crazy and i can see it now i’ve grown
history gets heavy down in the free state of jones

[chorus]
them good ol’ boys got license plates that say, “don’t tread on me”
they give 10 bucks to the dmv and they miss the irony
it’s reagan, yeah, it’s true, man
no one wants to die alone
we ain’t as different as we think, down in the free state of jones

[verse 4]
when i was 24, a man came down from hollywood
he gave my friends a little change to play pretend in the woods
they said, “we’re all gonna make and everybody’s gonna know”
we’re all getting famous, down in the free state of jones

[chorus]
them good ol’ boys got three piece suits for the academy awards
practiced speeches thanking mississippi, their agent, and the lord
they’re still spending forever waiting there by the phone
’cause there’s no getting out of the free state of jones
[outro]
we’re all getting famous down in the free state of jones
we’re all getting famous down in the free state of jones
we’re all getting famous down in the free state of jones
we’re all getting famous down in the free state of jones
we’re all getting famous down in the free state of jones
we’re all getting famous down in the free state of jones
we’re all getting famous down in the free state of jones
we’re all getting famous down in the free state of jones
