Bird In The Hand
Rival Sons Song Lyrics

There's a man on the roadside

Standing in the shadow of a stop sign

When you think there's nowhere left for you to go

That's when you cling tight to the devil you know and you know.

Let's go down to the river

Where the water runs still and deep

Scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be

Drink till there's nothing left

Lay on the shore and take a good deep breath

Shapes in the sand, warm sun shining through the leaves

A bird in the hand, now that's a miracle that I can believe.

There are rats in the silos

Drowning themselves in your sorrows

You can have your cake and eat it too

Now that the wall's too thick to chew your way out through, out through, out through.

Let's go down to the river

Where the water runs still and deep

Scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be

Drink till there's nothing left

Lay on the shore and take a good deep breath

Shapes in the sand, warm sun shining through the leaves

A bird in the hand, now that's a miracle that I can believe.

Bird in the hand

(In the hand)

Bird in the hand

(In the hand)

Bird in the hand

(Lord, understand)

Bird in the hand

(Lord, understand)

Bird in the hand.

Let's go down to the river

Where the water runs still and deep

Scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be

Drink till there's nothing left

Lay on the shore and take a good deep breath

Shapes in the sand, warm sun shining through the leaves

A bird in the hand, now that's a miracle that I can believe

Now that's a miracle I can believe

Now that's a miracle I can believe

Now that's a miracle I can believe.
