And these are the words she spoke... Blow up your TV Throw away your paper Move into the country Build you a home Plant a little garden Eat a lot of peaches Try to find Jesus On your own
Well, I was young and hungry And about to leave that place When just as I was leavin' She looked me in the face I said you must know the answer She said no, but I'll give it a try And to this very day We been livin' our own way And here is the reason why We blew up our TV Threw away our paper Moved into the country Built us a home Had a lot of children Fed 'em on peaches They all found Jesus On their own.
