lyrics

i put on my red honeymoon lipstick and set my curls best as i could
i’m gonna wrap myself in plastic and go and lay out in the woods
i put breakfast on the table and i left the lunch in the pan
the baby’s safe in the cradle and i’m about to get back to the land

and nobody’s coming to look for me
well nobody even asks me if i’m alright
and now everybody’s ‘bout to find out how i’ve gone crazy
but i don’t mind ‘cause i’ll be floatin’ with the angels
come mornin’ light

yeah i’m gonna tuck it all around my shoes i’m gonna tuck it all around my head
i don’t want no critters gettin’ through to me until i’m good and dead
and i can hear the creek ramblin’ as it makes its way to the gorge
and it’s so sweet in my plastic sheet i can’t wait to meet the lord

yeah and nobody’s coming to look for me
well nobody even asks me if i’m alright
and now everybody’s ‘bout to find out how i’ve gone crazy
but i don’t mind ‘cause i’ll be floatin’ with the angels
come mornin’ light

well when i never made it home for supper ‘cause i was out lyin’ in my sunday dress
somebody called the choppers and somebody called the press

and now they’re coming out to comb the woods
well they’ve got my picture and they’re hollering my name
and now every available hound dog across the neighborhood
has got his nose to the ground i can hear ‘em now
they’re heading my way

how long have you been lying here Lovetta
why’d you go and leave your family all alone
well a grown woman like you ought to know better
than to leave that helpless man you married tryin’ to hush a fussy baby
on his own

so grab your things and pull yourself together
we’ve called your sister she’s on the way she said to say
to get your ass back home

about

Janet Batch Ithaca, New York

One part Stevie Nicks, two parts Johnny Cash, singer-songwriter Janet Batch hails from New York’s Finger Lakes region, writing and recording songs inspired by working-class life. Some anthemic, some heartbreaking, many songs harken back to the hardscrabble stories of her youth in the Rust Belt. She fronts a 4-piece band whose sound is reminiscent of seventies and eighties country radio. ... more
