| Old Crow Medicine Show – Take 'Em Away Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| This song to me (I may be imparting my own lived experience into it) is about a farmer who is being pulled apart by two worlds. he desperately loves his land at a visceral level where he is incapable of leaving it, no matter the consequences of it. weather it mean that his family has to go hungry, he has to do horrible jobs, even his wife either dies or metaphorically dies from his neglect. He is begging the lord to take away the chains of his binding to the land. In the end he comes to term with the fact that he can not make this break and is willing to die there. | |
