Earthquake Country from Mountain Brews by Mountain Brews

It’s a good thing you live in SoCal
Where the sun it always shines
But you’ll never go more than a few days
Without the dust getting in your eyes

They say that life has its trade-offs
Well I got one for you
To live where it’s always sunny
But where the ground could split in two

I’m driving down the freeway
I feel a rumble all around
Is it the earth a-quaking?
How stable is this ground?

It’s an 18-wheeler gaining speed
Passing me on the right
Sixteen tons of rubber and steel
Rips past me into the night

And it’s earthquake country
Keeping me up at night
Yeah it’s earthquake country
No the world doesn’t seem right

I’m lying in my bed at night
Spiraling in a dark zone
As I’m scrolling through a wasteland
I feel a rumbling in my bones

Could it be the Big One?
As I leap up out of my bed
And in that same split second
I see where all my fears have led

There’s no need to panic
The house is standing strong
The night is cool and quiet
My baby sleeping all along

We all live in earthquake country
In our own peculiar way
A rabid dog or a gamma ray
We’re just trying to keep the wolves at bay
Yeah to keep the wolves at bay
