When I was a young boy My momma told me "Son, you better get your guns & run" Yeah, my momma told me "Son, you better get your guns & run 'cause they don't owe you anything they can't tell you what tomorrow brings" Some people are born with & some people choose Their walkin' shoes When I was a young man My father told me "Son, you'll always be out on the run" Yeah, My father told me "Son, you'll always be out on the run when the highway is all you see and your heart is made out of autumn leaves." Some people are born with & some people choose Their walkin' shoes Now I'm getting older There's a thorn inside my step But I ain't givin' up just yet There's a thorn inside my step But I ain't givin' up just yet 'Cause the river leads to the sea like goodbye's are always bitter sweet Some people are born with & some people choose Their walkin' shoes

I never had a name One was given to me Lord, a long long time ago I was found in a blizzard storm Highway 51, that's where I was born And that's where I am bound to go Yes, and where I'm bound to go There's a train Leads to my baby's door Take me home! Take me home! Lord! Lord! Take me home! Make a bed for my weary bones Then i drifted down California's shore For to lay my burden down Lord! I rambled round I run my devil's down Just listening for the sound I's just listening for the sound Of a shape, a shape to call my own Take me home! Take me home! Lord! Lord! Take me! Make a bed for my weary bones

I two step with my two step sister Two steps that I took before A thousand ravens round your window pane Dead leaves piled 'round your door Two steps with my drunken angel Two step by the river bed Three devils 'round your buryin' ground Texas medicine 'round your head Two steps with my sullen sister Two steps in a graveyard mist Hats off to your ancient secrets Hats off to your death lament Two steps with my two step sister Two steps that I took before A thousand ravens 'round your window pane Dead leaves piled 'round your door

about

It being the verge of the new year and marking the 10 year anniversary of playing music as simply, freely, and with as much reckless abandoned as one could muster these songs were pulled from the vault in hopes of creating a sweet almost child like feeling to put to rest this year and bring in the next.
