lyrics

JONAH



Put your head out the window


Blue prairie sky swallows you whole

It’s like a story from the good book


Jonah got swallowed by the whale


When I was just a little kid

Ridin’ shotgun in my Daddy’s truck

Starin’ at the wheat fields

And my Dad’s hands on the steering wheel

CHORUS: We can all stop pretending

Maybe cease comprehending

Maybe if we’d stop sending

Our buried fears, thus suspending



Put your head out the window
And you’ll see for yourself
There’s only a few rules that can hold you
But nothing can stop you from being yourself

Just the other day
My Dad appeared as a passenger
We stared at the frozen lakes and he said,
“Keep both hands on the steering wheel.”


CHORUS: We can all stop pretending
Maybe cease comprehending
Maybe if we’d stopped spending
It’d make a difference to the ending
We’re all in the big blue
We’re all in the big blue
We’re all in the big blue

Put your head out the window
Blue prairie sky swallows you whole
It’s like a story from the Good Book
Jonah got swallowed by the whale
