SONG BEFORE I GO

no one there to help you walk that final mile
when all you wanted was an ordinary smile
the mountains rest, the forest and trees
older than i'll ever be
so i’ll wander this extraordinary road
to lose my way

I don't mind
someday I'll lay this burden down
and everything I know
I was fine
to wear this dreamers thorny crown
glad you made the show
here’s a song before I go

for many years I just forgot I was to be
something more than what you might expect from me
the ocean’s bound by the shore, it's not free
yet raining down over me..
never mind I ain't got time to think I know
philosophy

I don't mind
that no one knew this man at all
oh you’re busy though
I was fine
to watch a child learn how to crawl
glad you made the show
and here’s a song before I go

I don't mind
I never understood this world
or anything I know
I was fine
Just to love that southern girl
glad you caught the show

I don't mind
that god don't answer when I call
oh he's busy though
I was glad
to walk beside you all alone
I'm glad you made the show
here’s a song before I go

Easy On My Mind

It's a great Americana mood album. I played a show and camped with this duo at Kerrville Folk Festival and they are also great people with a powerful live presence. ezra vancil

Ran into this on the ISC awards.. great feeling to the sonics of this recording. The sonics of it are what I come back to listen to.. it doesn't hurt that the songs are also fantastic trips. ezra vancil
