The High and the Feds

Verse 1

Justin pulled the blinds down low

Every headlight in the lane feels like a raid

He swore he heard a chopper circling around

From a porch full of lemons and shade

Got a joint lit in the kitchen sink

Talks to the fridge like it's kin

Says they planted something in the cornfield

Out back by the old quart of Jim

Pre-Chorus

And he laughs at the dog

For barking at a cloud

Says the mailman's wearing a wire

And the whole town's listening out loud

Chorus

Feds are in the crawlspace

Feds are in the trees

Justin's got the tinfoil on

And he's laughing at the breeze

Says one more hit and he'll outrun 'em

Through the backwoods and the pines

Outlaw on the couch tonight

With the feds all on his mind

Verse 2

He read the whole conspiracy three times

Underneath a crooked ceiling fan

Swears the neighbor's camera's blinking Morse

Part of some larger government plan

Found a bug inside the blender

Took it apart with a spoon

Says they track him through the satellite

Coming down off the high way too soon

Pre-Chorus

And he picks up the phone

Nobody on the line

Just static and a murmur

Like they're reading him his rights

Chorus

Feds are in the crawlspace

Feds are in the trees

Justin's got the tinfoil on

And he's laughing at the breeze

Says one more hit and he'll outrun 'em

Through the backwoods and the pines

Outlaw on the couch tonight

With the feds all on his mind

Bridge

Sunrise through the plaid curtains

Justin blinks and the room comes back real

The truck outside is just a truck

And the morning takes the wheel

Chorus

Feds are in the crawlspace

Feds are in the trees

But the morning's coming in slow

And the porch is free

Says not today

Not today

Outlaw tearing the tinfoil away

Feds all gone

Feds all gone

And the next high takes the dawn
