Lyrics

Most of the brine has gotta boil away
Most of the air has gotta choke you
Most of June I spent in jail again
I don't mean jail exactly
Up in the pine tree
A red squirrel looking down at me
I am losing control of the language again
I am losing control of the language again

Most of the things I used to hold on to
Most of the things I used to say to you
Most of the ways I knew around the local roads
Are disappearing daily
High in the cottonwood
You were looking down at me and you sure looked good
Hair hanging down in the leaves
Neck tilted back to make a rainbow
I was losing control of the language again
I am losing control of the language again
