Turpentine- Greenwood, Oklahoma 1921

Look in my eyes what do you see?
A man on the run or have I been set free?
We were brothers in arms we were brothers at war
Now the gun’s in your hand and my blood’s on the floor

You were Cain, and I was Abel and you brought no reprieve
With the cards on the table ‘cept the one up your sleeve
I gave you the bread I poured out the wine
You gave me turpentine

So you took it I had when you took my name
You measured it out and you set it aflame
Your green eyes filled with jealousy
You beat on the drum when I was begging for mercy

I took it for granted how I loved you back then
But the seeds that we planted blew away with the wind
You ripped off the bark and you cut up the pine
Filled me with turpentine
