Kurt Vile - I Know I Got Religion

Yeah, I know I got religion
It took me away
It took me away
Yeah, relocating my caddy to the golden highway

Getting myself all cracked up on the poppy and pills
Cranberry orange vodka spills
But I can see those distant hills

And this is where I want to be
With human of her craft is made
Now everything I see like Jesus drafted me

Yeah, I dropped myself a penny off the William Penn's head
Yeah, I watched the fall off the city hall
Yeah, I get my pictures like 1776

Friends of the mind in a jar of the psychedelical kind
I won't be kind, I won't rewind

The friends that I had played too cool, I cut them off from the fire
Now I stopped using picks and not a thing between me and my guitar
Now I'm strumming away everyday
When I feel blue I write a strummer for you

You yourself have said we can't get an ahead
But I said that you have won if we got religion
Religion, it's got me in its sway, it's got me in its sway

Yeah, I know I got religion
It took me away
It took me away
Yeah, relocating my caddy to the golden highway
