lyrics

My mind's eye is a log cabin.
And my heart is the red dirt ground.
But my soul hears the screen door slamming.
As you go to fight the dirty dogs that surround.

The preacher says that life is a battle.
We're all soldiers for the cause.
And a woman's place is beside the oven.
Making bread and feeding the hurt, the broken, and the lost.

Chorus.

So I pray with all the others.
Who know that victory you'll ensure.
And I'll wait and watch in the evening.
Praying that my hope, will my hope endure?

Chorus

So I stay and prepare the linens.
As you go towards your death.
And I'll tend the fires proudly,
knowing I'll see you at the end of all this.

Chorus
