Inauguration Day

I'm up to my neck

In the mud of Inauguration day

They say it's one in fifty years

That storm, that blew my dog away

And they say the road has been washed out

From Rockport to Concrete

And all the trees are falling down

And now, heaven's at my feet

My wishes do my beggin' for me

And like a beggar they do

Frozen fingers touch my face

They tie a blindfold 'round my eyes

And I'm stuck at this roadblock

Chasing fog and smoke

I guess the price of doing thhat was just

Another killing joke

Wash me down

Wash me down

Sing for me now

Sing for me now

Wash me from the hillside

And wash me from the dirt

Wash me from your worldly claims

And wash me, wash me from your hurt

'Cause I'm up to my neck

In the mud of Inauguration day
