(GUITAR INTRO)
if I fell off to sleep and did not wake
a-would the Lord my soul to take
and could the land that I`ve known also die
do you think of you and wonder why
down in leatherwood
that thought we leave behind
down in leatherwood
country love`s gonna steal your mind
and we ain`t never gonna be blue, be blue
was a mad house all flooded by the rain
or did I once live it in a dream
a-throwing all good minutes to the sea
did you know the sky can also bleed
down in leatherwood
that thought we leave behind
down in leatherwood
country love`s gonna steal your mind
and we ain`t never gonna be blue, be blue
(GUITAR SOLO)
an inner voice, it is telling me my verse
oh and if you`re listening it can only make it worse
it maybe that there is a master plan
oh he who knows, he must be a great man
down in leatherwood
that thought we leave behind
down in leatherwood
country love`s gonna steal your mind
and we ain`t never gonna be blue, be blue
be blue,
be blue,
be blue
