Seed Packet Tarot

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dusty aisles on a Saturday
Threw my clip-on tie away
Left the bank and the fluorescent lights
Trading decimals for garden sights
Old Man Miller’s in the corner seat
Escaping from the summer heat
[Pre-Chorus]
He’s got a stack of paper sleeves
Truth hidden in the leaves
He says choose your future destiny
Between the beans and the peony
[Chorus]
It’s that seed packet tarot
The road is long and narrow
Planting dreams in a row
Waiting for the soul to grow
Wildflowers don’t need a vault
Being broke isn't quite a fault
It’s a gamble in the clay
I wouldn't have it any other way
[Post-Chorus]
Just a gamble in the clay
Any other way
[Verse]
I pulled a packet of the Black-Eyed Susans
Giving up on all my grand illusions
Life is short and the soil is deep
Got a lot of promises to keep
My 401k is a bag of peat
But the air out here is bittersweet
[Pre-Chorus]
He’s got a stack of paper sleeves
Truth hidden in the leaves
He says choose your future destiny
Between the beans and the peony
[Chorus]
It’s that seed packet tarot
The road is long and narrow
Planting dreams in a row
Waiting for the soul to grow
Wildflowers don’t need a vault
Being broke isn't quite a fault
It’s a gamble in the clay
I wouldn't have it any other way
[Solo]
[Bridge]
My sister says I’ve lost my mind
Left the steady pay behind
But Doc just smiles and taps his cane
"Flowers love a little rain"
I’m scared to death of the empty space
But I love the dirt upon my face
[Build-up]
Stomp the floor and feel the beat
Dust rising off the street
One more draw and one more sign
Everything is gonna be just fine
[Verse]
He handed me some Larkspur blue
Said "This one belongs to you"
For the brides and the Sunday vows
Underneath the willow boughs
I’m the underdog in overalls
Ignoring all the bank-desk calls
[Chorus]
It’s that seed packet tarot
The road is long and narrow
Planting dreams in a row
Waiting for the soul to grow
Wildflowers don’t need a vault
Being broke isn't quite a fault
It’s a gamble in the clay
I wouldn't have it any other way
[Post-Chorus]
Just a gamble in the clay
Any other way
[Outro]
