A lovely historical song story!
From the Forest Full of Wolves sessions.
Mastered by sonic guru, Chris Bethea

lyrics

EVERYBODY DOES words & music: bill mallonee
You know I can't remember...where the transaction took place
Where the glad exchange & happy fault...smiled and embraced
She said: "you know I love you" & I believed her just because
I had some bad religion once, but then everybody does

Everybody does...everybody does...

I soldiered through East Texas to put my 2 years in
We were sent to solve the problem they called the Indian
I cut bait in the last battle; I felt not a lick of shame
I could not slay brother or sister in any God's Good Name

Everybody does...everybody does...

I was baptized in the Brazos by a medicine man
He put a stone with my new name on it in the palm of my hand
You might say my eyes were open when i lifted up the cup
You might say my eyes were open, but i hardly knew they were shut

Everybody does...everybody does...
