Lyrics
Late at night
When you lie in bed
Does the sound of the engines
Run through your head?
Or is it the wind
Across the land?
A desert seed
Waits to mend
A thousand cold winters
Or seven months of sin
As our little valley rolls
Under the wheels of company men
Fill it up now Sonny
There?s 400 miles to Maple Grove
Settle down now honey
It?s time to give ? Devils Blood
Forest leaves
Gather up the rain
But it doesn?t really matter
When the market bell rings
Through these city streets
And the whitehouse door
These planes in flight
Have a new name
They're calling down a thunder
Like a school boy game
On these city streets
And through your neighbor's door
Fill it up now Sonny
There?s 400 miles to Maple Grove
Settle down now honey
It?s time to give ? Devils Blood
