Story behind the song
Loving the Luddite life.
Lyrics
The lightning bugs are dancing up and down the hall. They don't keep up their shaking, we won't have any light at all. I woke up this morning, wood shoes bouncing on up agin' my wall. I took those wood shoes and rode them into town. I don't bow down to kings, matter of fact I don't bow down. Jesus is a dying bed maker, I'm a bedmaker too. Get you jumping up and down on the mattress, doing those things your daddy said you shouldn't ever do. I'm a lover not a fighter, that kind of shit can get you killed. I'm a trav'ler not a worker I just like driving by the fields. I'm a thinker not a doer, take from that what you will. Jesus is a dying bed maker I'd just as soon leave my sheets undone.
