Feel the ache of Ohio
Through the veins of Illinois
Mine the seams of West Virginia
Land of buried joy
Lean into the half-light
Fade into the night
Moonrise hovers on the highway shoulder
And scatters into light
Don’t let the bastards get you down
Don’t let the bastards get you down
Backroads shining in the moonrise
She’s a dragon with a lazy eye
Canary’s in the coal like a fallen soldier
Drunk on the song of a little white lie
Don’t let the bastards get you down
Don’t let the bastards get you down
Are they gonna steal my love?
Are they gonna steal my love?
Are you gonna free my love?
Are you gonna free my love?
Three birds sittin' on a chainlink fence
Got no cares in this world
Don’t let the bastards get you down
Don’t let the bastards get you down
Don’t let the bastards get you down
Don’t let the bastards get you down
