	Story Behind the Song Every weekend I drive down 69 to Indianapolis to play with the rest of the band and to live it up with my friends. I always pass a sign for a little town called "Foster's Branch." Over the years, I have created a little story in my mind about all the people that have lived in Foster's Branch, which is a town under a curse. This is their story. Lyrics She moved in on Foster's Branch Just a mile or so down the road When we walked by her face We could catch her face But that wasn't what she sold She moved in on Foster's Branch And her mama cried in shame, "They likely bury me In a clapboard box If you don't change your name She sat up shop in an old gray barn With a needle and a Sunday dress She didn't talk too much But she paid the rent And she always looked her best Get up get out Get up get out You better get out quickly Or you might get evicted And you can't sleep safe on the ground He built a house down on Foster's Branch Got a wife and an acre and a half Climbed way up top of Jackson's Knob With a shotgun and a camo hat He built a house on Foster's Branch Bought a shovel and a bowie knife I bet you never saw him coming down that Knob And I bet you never saw his wife Get up get out Get up get out You better get out quickly Or you might get evicted And you can't sleep safe on the ground Drifting in a rowboat on Foster's Branch Checking out a row of trot-line Got a camp set up 'Bought an hour downstream And I'm running out of time I'll never come back to Foster's Branch 'Cause that dog ain't nowhere to be found The fish don't bite The sun don't shine And you can't sleep safe on the ground
