about

After a long while in Colorado, I returned to my hometown and was sobering up when these words came through. And wouldn't ya know it... it only took three chords to make it happen.
Played since 2014

lyrics

Perhaps I started too early,
Sure hope I don't end too late,
'cause all I can say is that
"these bad habits
they are hard to break"
Perhaps I started too early,
Sure hope I don't end too late
'case I am here to break free
from all these self-inflicted chains.

I was chain-smoking cigarettes
Now I have seventy-thousand regrets.
And all this drink used to get me drunk,
Now the liquor just gets me sicker.
I was, dosin', not dozin
Rollin' spun and spinnin'
And tripped into this puddle
While I was munchin' on that fungus.

And as a young kid,
Well I, I wanted to die young.
And as a young man,
I wanna live quite long.
And as a young lad,
Guess I grew up way too fast,
And before too long I became an old man.

I was sittin' on a park bench and
Feeding ducks by hand
As the geese would swoop over my head
Into the lake to land
Where they'd sit side by side
All through the night
Surrounded by ice
Kind of like you and I
We've got this fire light
So let's sit side by side
We'll play our songs all through the night
Surrounded by ice
But we'll stay warm all night
Up through the sunrise
You and I

I have so many songs and notes to play
So many words to hear and say
So many books to be written and read
Before I'm dead.
It's a long winding road ahead yes
It's a long winding road ahead yes
But I never will lead anybody or wa-as led.
So many thoughts in my head and
So many thoughts left unsaid.
So many colors in the wind man and
I'm gonna paint with all of them.
This day it never ends no,
The world just keeps on spinnin' and
No need for your apologies
You're already forgiven.

You're already forgiven
You're all ready for givin'.
You're already forgiven so
Give in to given
You're already forgiven
You're all ready for givin'
You're already forgiven
You're all ready for givin'

You're already forgiven.
You're all ready for givin'.
You're already forgiven.
Give in to given yes
You're already forgiven
You're all ready for givin'
Just give in to givin'
'Cause this life,
It is worth liven.
