Old Virginia Block - Devon Sproule[00:00:00]
If my ears hear a sigh of a shiny red violin[00:00:16]
Clear by the Rivanna down in the Blue Ridge[00:00:21]
By the dog bags and trash[00:00:26]
By the bottles and cans[00:00:29]
And the dead beat brown grass[00:00:31]
And the pattern in the Blue Ridge[00:00:34]
Then my home must be around another good old virginia block[00:00:37]
If my ears hear a note on the cello[00:00:47]
So low[00:00:51]
Then a double stopping bow[00:00:52]
From my headphones[00:00:55]
In the Blue Ridge[00:00:57]
Out walking at noon[00:00:58]
Appearing under the white of the daytime moon[00:01:00]
Keeping my big blue balloon in my tight fist[00:01:03]
In the Blue Ridge[00:01:07]
Then my home must be around another good old virginia block[00:01:08]
If my ears hears the sound of a slate rock on the ground[00:01:29]
Clicking the drops of the rain coming down[00:01:34]
Along a front walk[00:01:37]
In the Blue Ridge[00:01:38]
The rim of dirt on the brim of a brow[00:01:40]
The skin of sweat on the handle of a plow[00:01:42]
Miles and miles of tobacco in the south[00:01:45]
From a back road[00:01:48]
In the Blue Ridge[00:01:49]
Then my home must be around another good old virginia block[00:01:50]
Well[00:01:58]
I've got family in Canada[00:01:58]
Family in New York[00:02:01]
I've got friends in every other place I've played[00:02:04]
But I can't keep from planting all my plans of family stuff[00:02:09]
Down between the weeds in the red dirt clay[00:02:15]
Where my ears hears a hundred bees riding that udwarding breeze[00:02:19]
A veil and a bucket by a pair of oak trees[00:02:24]
Just another blonde kid[00:02:27]
In the Blue Ridge[00:02:29]
It's all to make a pattern of love[00:02:30]
To roost a lava field of white doves[00:02:32]
With just a pitchfork and a pair of thick gloves[00:02:35]
For your whole life in the Blue Ridge[00:02:38]
The pick up and go[00:02:41]
The bent back and the grunt-chicked coal[00:02:43]
The gleam of your white underclothes[00:02:45]
In my back seat[00:02:49]
In the Blue Ridge[00:02:50]
The pile of bacon by a couple fried eggs[00:02:51]
Kiss marks and hearts on a picnic table leg[00:02:53]
The quartet fretting on up in my head[00:02:56]
On my long walk[00:02:59]
Through the Blue Ridge[00:03:00]
And my home comes up around another good old Virginia block[00:03:02]
