I been slinkin' my way through thorny bramble patches
Sittin' on a log and hittin' it with a hatchet
Findin' me some paper and lightin' it with matches
Baby
I been waitin' for the sunrise early in the mornin
Then when the dew dries there's no more forlornin
Don't you know the world, it never stops turnin
Baby
I been singin' that cicada song all summer long
In stiltgrass season
I been waitin' for the heat to break, that feeling you can't shake
In stiltgrass season
The scene behind my eyes
When I lay in bed at night
I been pickin' wildflowers in the midwestern prairie
Open up the windows let the house get real airy
Paintin' pretty pictures of milkweed and baneberry
Baby
I been keepin' dead bugs in a jar on my bookcase
Right underneath a framed picture out in deep space
To remind me that no matter what I've got a place
Baby
I been singin' that cicada song all summer long
In stiltgrass season
I been waitin' for the heat to break, that feeling you can't shake
In stiltgrass season
The blink of fireflies
As I turn out the light
I been singin' that cicada song all summer long
In stiltgrass season
I been waitin' for the heat to break, that feeling you can't shake
In stiltgrass season
I been singin' that cicada song all summer long
In stiltgrass season
I been waitin' for the heat to break, that feeling you can't shake
In stiltgrass season
