Volholla Tailgate

Verse 1

Wrong

Turn left

Past the paper mill

The clerk misfiled the deed

Stamped red ink on a spirit's soul

Bureaucracy in the hollow

Lost

Buried

Deep under

White oak roots and iron

The county line shifted six inches east

My paradise is a parking lot now

Dust

Gray dust

Choking the golden gates

Chorus

Welcome to the tailgate at the end of the road

Where the saints wear jerseys and the beer is cold

Yeah we're singing for the glory of a fumbled pass

Grilling out on the holy grass

Welcome home

Welcome home

To the stadium in the sky

Verse 2

Bleachers

Rising

Silver against the ridge

The angels bought season tickets

I trade my harp for a whistle

No

Wait

Listen

The referee is an archangel

Blowing the play dead on the forty yard line

He calls a holding penalty on my sins

Gone

Done

Paid up

Chorus

Welcome to the tailgate at the end of the road

Where the saints wear jerseys and the beer is cold

Yeah we're singing for the glory of a fumbled pass

Grilling out on the holy grass

Welcome home

Welcome home

To the stadium in the sky

Bridge

Wash me in the cooler water

Lay me on the astroturf

Wash me in the cooler water

Lay me on the astroturf

Take me to the big league

Take me to the lights

Take me to the big league

Chorus

Welcome to the tailgate at the end of the road

Where the saints wear jerseys and the beer is cold

Yeah we're singing for the glory of a fumbled pass

Grilling out on the holy grass

Welcome home

Welcome home

To the stadium in the sky

Post-Chorus

Touchdown

Touchdown

Glory glory touchdown

Amen

Amen

Touchdown

Outro

Zoning error

Corrected

The mountains are watching

The mountains are waiting

Lights out

Open

Open

Open
