What's So - John Paul White

Hole in the road

Sun on your back

Shoulder the load

Your ancestors passed

Wear on your sleeve

The virtues you lack

But don’t get above your raising

Sell your damn soul

Or get right with the man

Keep treading water as long as you can

But whatever you do

You must understand

That you don’t get above your raising

No you don’t get above your raising

Cuz it’s one for the somber

And two for the stone

And three for the ready to get low low low low

Four for the fortunate few that don’t know

The difference between what should be

And what’s so

Reach for the sky

Kneel down and pray

Get in the dirt and

Get out of the way

But don’t you forget

'til you climb in that grave

That you don’t get above your raising

One for the somber

Two for the stone

Three for the ready to get low low low low

Four for the fortunate few that don’t know

The difference between what should be

And what’s so

One for the somber

Two for the stone

Three for the ready to get low low low low

Four for the fortunate

Few that don’t know

The difference between what should be

And what’s so
