Peter Killed The Dragon - Josh Ritter

Peter killed the dragon and he did it with his bare hands

Peter killed the dragon and he did it with his bare hands

Paul killed the dragon and he did it with his bare hands

Eight miles high, saw you wearing a royal blue shirt

Eight miles high, saw you wearing a royal blue shirt

Hiding in a hole in the blue from the world of hurt

Well, Mississippi mighty, oh, and it’s eight miles wide

Mississippi mighty, oh, and it’s eight miles wide

Standing on the edge, I saw your face from the other side

And even on the phone, you’re eight hours from my time

Even on the phone, you’re eight hours from my time

Wish I could hold you in my arms like I hold you in my mind

'Cause I’m standing on the rooftops wondering if it’s true

Looking over rooftops, hoping that it ain’t true

God can give or take away, well who would make such an awful rule?

God can give or take away, well who would make such an awful rule?

Well, Peter killed the dragon and he did it with his bare hands

Peter killed the dragon and he did it with his bare hands

Paul killed the dragon and he did it with his bare hands
