Guns Of Umpqua Lyrics - Drive By Truckers

I see a bird soar through the clouds outside my window 

Smell the fresh paint of the comfort shade on this new fall day 

Feel the coffee surge through morning veins from half an hour ago 

Hear the sound of shots and screams out in the hallway 

Spent my last weekend camping out again down the road a-ways 

Just me and Joan and a couple of friends on this beautiful trail 

Watch the sun slip down behind the mountain stream in these great cascades 

Saw a mighty hawk swoop down upon a stream to devour its prey 

And now we're moving chairs in some panic mode to barricade the doors 

As my heart rate surges on adrenaline and nerves, I feel I've been here before 

I made it back from hell's attack in some distant, bloody war 

Only to stare down hell back home 

Ooooooooooo 

Ooooooooooo 

Inside my mind I wander freely past this rocky shore 

Waves crash against the banks where Lewis and Clark explored 

We're all standing in the shadows of her noblest intentions of something more 

From being shot in a classroom in Oregon 

And it's a morning like so many others, with breakfast and birthdays 

Sun burn the fog away, breeze blew the mist away 

My friend Jack is having a baby 

And I see a bird soaring through the clouds outside my window 

Heaven is calling my name from the hallway outside the door 

Heaven is calling my name from the hallway outside the door 

Oooo oooo ooooooooo 

Oooo oooo ooooooooo 

Oooo oooo ooooooooo
