Make The Dirt Stick Lyrics - Chris Whitley

There's nothing wrong with staying inside 

There's nothing wrong staying home tonight 

All week long was a world of restless 

Whatever it takes for a little peace and quiet 

I got a pump, be right out back now 

I got a well up on the hill 

All summer long was rain and water 

Sometime surrender to God's will 

Whatever it takes, you best now surrender 

Whatever you know, you gotta tell them quick 

Scratching the wall with some old barbed wire 

Whatever it takes to make the dirt stick 

I hear them coming with the crane and hammer 

I hear them digging these holes in the ground 

I feel like there's something bound to take me over 

Son, do what you can in a mean old town 

Whatever it takes, you best now surrender 

Whatever you know, you gotta tell them quick 

Scratching the wall with some old barbed wire 

Whatever it takes to make the dirt stick 

I said whatever it takes, you best now surrender 

Whatever you know, you gotta tell them quick 

Scratching the wall with some old barbed wire 

Whatever it takes to make the dirt stick
