The Mason Jar at the Center of the World – Willi Carlisle Lyrics
Took a mason jar of Ozark Shine up the smoky mountainside
Left that jar in Tennessee, it rolled downhill, it followed me
And everywhere that I have been, that jelly jar has been my friend
Gonna cross the ocean, and back again, got the center of the world in the middle of my hand
Got the center of the world, center of the world, I was born a sinner at the center of the world
If I get rowdy or seem untoward
I was born to shine at the center of the world, born to shinе at the center of thе world
Grandaddy died for this land, he might've killed a hundred men
Nobody ask, nobody say, if we're better off in this way
My old mom and my old pap, have an old place by the railroad track
Sit right there waitin' for the lord, and a little glass jar at the center of the world
Got the center of the world, center of the world, I was born a sinner at the center of the world
If I get rowdy or seem untoward
I was born to shine at the center of the world, born to shine at the center of the world
So I've said, oh I'll sit by the fire, take a few pulls from the mason jar
Can't you feel the world spinnin' faster, higher; wherever you've gone, buddy there you are
As comets fly and old dogs bark, dance your left feet in the dark
Say it raw, lay it bare, take communion everywhere
Got the center of the world, center of the world, I was born a sinner at the center of the world
If I get rowdy or seem untoward
I was born to shine at the center of the world, born to shine at the center of the world
Took a mason jar of Ozark Shine up the smoky mountainside
Left that jar in Tennessee, it rolled downhill, it followed me
