The Opening of the Box - Tony Joe White

Old pickup trucks brand new cars

Lined up in the woods

Some with money most them boy

All you were all they looking for

They all go inside this little mountain church

Til they sweat in the room

The little band was playing somewhere wild music

Preacher shouting out his message of doom

Frozen in time they smell the strict line

All how just one touch

Opening a box

They filled the evening opening out of the box

Yeah

Uh huh

A woman stood up dancing down the aisle

The spirit had taken control

She was looking to the East looking to the West

And she looked down on the floor

Six foot diamondback was coiled at her feet

She found what she was looking for

I’m still looking for

A little one freely

They got what they came for

Opening of the box

Opening of the box
