Yellow weeds yellow weeds I swear that overnight

It's gone to seed all of my memories swallowed whole by

All these yellow weeds

God's little acre's overgrown I hardly recognize my home

I used to drive these roads

At midnight in the fog have to remind me now

I might get lost

Yellow weeds yellow weeds I swear that overnight

It's gone to seed all of my memories swallowed whole by

All these yellow weeds

There's my old school I've got to slow same place my dad

He used to go chain on the fences now locks on every door

Won't hear the laughing of the children anymore

Yellow weeds yellow weeds I swear that overnight

It's gone to seed all of my memories swallowed

Whole by all these yellow weeds

Past ain't a place that's built to stand

This I know I feel it slipping through my hands

Even my recollection's bound to fade in time long as I can

I want to hold it close to mine

Another highway shrine a little wooden cross another pistol

Goin' off this ground is taking back her blessings one

By one you've got to count them all

Before we're overrun yellow weeds yellow weeds

I swear that overnight it's gone to seed

Don't mind memories

Swallowed whole by all these yellow weeds

Swallowed whole by all these yellow weeds
