lyrics

I hid my 6 string
Out back in my old shed
So tired of all the heart ache
That chunk of wood bred
I set off ‘cross that big pond
To start it all anew
Learned to do without her
Til I’s covered up in blue

We rip out our souls
To be somebody else
Just to breeze through life
The more we go on
Like that’s alright
The more America dies

I picked her back up
Just to fool around
Remembered all the good days
When we gigged all over town
I sang one of our old songs
Could barely sing a word
There’s something that feels right
Bout doing what you’re born to do

So tired of all the stories
Of young folks selling out
Believing in the bold lie
That comfort where it’s at
We’ve forgotten what’s important
Stability glorified
It’s leads us down a sad road
Where we’re dying slow inside
