She Stood Shoulder Height Lyrics

Men dressed as cattle men

Came up to my door

They told me I had time to leave but not much time anymore

The one that wore the big iron

Didn't break the line

Where his rusted gaze pierced through what used to be my eyes

The shadow beside him

Spoke with a power

His lips were pursed before but now he will let out

Boy you better get up

Boy you better get up

A woman stood behind

She looked through the gap between one left and one right shoulder

She was there calm the fear

Of the two cowboys before her

They took me by the ear you see

And threw me on a foal more than a stead

As we road together down a desert trail

I got a taste of the wind

And it was harsh and hot

And woke me up from the life the I slept through

It was wildly not quite at all what I thought'd be

Boy you better get up

Boy you better get up

Boy you better get up

Boy you better get up

Boy you better get up

Boy you better get up
