lyrics

Old Miller Creek (Smoke & Fire) (#315)
06/26/13 - FtLd


Everyone just stood around and prayed
When Martha said they come
And they took it all away
That’s how it comes and goes
When nothing goes your way
I guess

Living up on Old Miller Creek
Ain’t the kinda place you want
It’s the kinda place you seek
When there ain’t nothing left to do
And nothing left to keep
Or show

But one day
I surely will know

Had a farm
Built a cottage and small barn
Found a horse that was lame
And taught it how to walk again
Plowed a field, sowed some rows
Grew my meals and so it goes
Or so they say

But had a past
That I thought I left behind
And when the sheriff he showed up
You know he really didn’t mind
That it wasn’t me that he found
So he burnt everything
To the ground

But on day I surely will know
If the smoke and fire
Helps you grow

(break)

Martha turned and said
It’s really not your fault
You can’t keep the world from being
What it really oughta not
So let’s pick up what we can
And find another place
To go

And as I watched the tears
Dry upon her face
I knew somehow that we’d get by
And make it through another day
It’s just a matter of, a matter of
Keeping faith

But one day
I surely will know
If the smoke and fire
Helps you grow
Cause I could never make it
On my own
